OK so im going to build a pair. Is there a BOM about ( a mouser cart would be amazing) - so are you guys using transformers? And how much per channel should I allow for? Finally - PCBs from Gustav? What about front panels? Thank you - this will be my FIRST build. Please help me loose my cherry!

It includes all resistors, capacitors, ICs, IC sockets, the push-button and both the Mill-Max pins and sockets. It doesn't include the pots, transformer, knobs or anything for the DOAs except the Mill-Max pins.

I tripple-checked everything but I'm still a beginner so it may have some errors.

I shared my project yesterday – it's for one unit but you can add it multiple times to your cart.

Hello,

I think reading through this thread should answer all your questions.
It's a simple build and sounds great.
For the transformer it seems most of us used them,personally I did it in mine.
You can do your own panels,I think somebody here once posted an fpd file?

Have fun,

Udo.

FYI not sure the C&K switch is correct in mouser project. 

I think it is 6 pole, shouldn't it be 2 pole?

Also you probably need to order the switch cap.
 
bruce0, I guess you're right. Could this be the correct switch?

I didn't include the switch cap cause I'm still working on a custom front panel and don't know the colour jet.

I ordered the pcb and the parts and I'll update the mouse project...

I think so, I have not built one just going from the pictures on this thread though.  You had the F6ueetb before. The "tb" is a nicer switch sealed top and bottom, keeps flux cleaner and tumbleweeds  out, but until it is old tb or no tb works just exactly the same.  Classicapi has the sealed ones I think.
 
This is the correct push-button:

I have one question regarding DOAs:
If I'm using DOAs I need to remove U2, U3, C21, C22, C16 and C17, but I don't remove any wire bridges, right?!

Got an item number for those? Its all I need to finish, so Id rather not order the wrong ones :)

If you look at the data sheet for the F2UEE switches, and scroll to the bottom, the switch caps are there.... Cubes, Cylinders or Clipped Conical.  I think they also have a series of lighted choices but they have always been too complicated to figure out, and they are large.
 
These switch caps fit:

Unfortunately my front panels and pcbs got lost in the mail. I just wanted everyone to know that Marek was 200% professional about it: he answered every mail within a couple hours, was always very nice and offered to make me another pair of panels and pcbs free of charge. They arrived today in perfect condition!

Don't hesitate to order from him – I can highly recommend his service! Thanks, Marek!!  :)

Cheers,
Goetz

Apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere...but who is this Marek you speak of? I'm building some more stuff soon and can always make use of anyone who can provide custom panels! ;)

Cheers,

Kaz

Hi Kaz, Marek made the frontpanels and pcbs – you'll find his info somewhere in this thread.

Finished mine with custom front panels and aluminum knobs. I wanted a late 70s look… :) Only the LED light pipe is missing.

Ok, but can't seem to find it unfortunately. Can you point me to the specific post?

(I built my studers a while back so I occasionally check in on this thread out of curiosity...which is why I asked, because I, like a lot of people got my pcbs from Gustav and didn't realise there was anyone else supplying them!)

Cheers,

Kaz

P.S. Those are really slick looking ones you've got there! :)
