[GROUP BUY] G9 in 51X format (CLOSED, ALL STOCK GONE)

I've been calling it the "gix fix".

What is the footprint for the input transformer ?  can it take any options ?
I ask because I wonder why the original  wasn't made with a 1:10 type

I the footprint takes the Cinemag Jensen style that should provide options , thanks
note too that the pinout for the Lundhal 1528 , is different than the 1538  [ which I believe
is electrically the same AND more common . ]

and is something I'd try myself . thanks for the fpd template

I posted the input and output options somewhere toward the beginning of this thread, if i remember right. The oep could be wired for 1:13 with some trace cutting and jumping. Not sure about the cinemag or the lundahl.

2 also for me...
Thanks !

I originally designed the layout with the 1528, but then switched to the 1538 because the pinout difference made the layout less complicated. For this application, I don't see the need for dual secondaries. Also note that by using the LL1538 footprint, the LL1576 (1+1:7) and LL1578 (1+1:10) can be used without modification.

Good move , I think the 1538xl's Rock for a 1:5 type , except they seem to be pricey , thanks
[ better shielding and extra low end handling I believe ]

I don't think there's room enough for the XL, but the regular 1538 footprint fits nicely. You only gain 3dB additional input headroom (with the XL version), so I don't think the price jump is worth it.

Is there a BOM in the works? Or am I asking too soon?

That's on my list of things to do. I have a rough list, but i want to get a very organized bom with part numbers for the critical items going. This week for sure.

I'll be paying tmmrw afternoon for 2 Rodney, thanx

Paid for 2, thanks Rodney...excited for this

Just a quick update:

I've been refining the fit of the PCBs to the L-bracket (after trying to do some metal work and finding some small dimensional discrepancies). I drew up a pretty rough CAD drawing of a finished L bracket and sent it to a local metal fabricator here in my city. Waiting on a quote from them.

Also cleaning up/organizing the BOM, thanks for your patience, guys!

PS - To everyone who wants a face-plate/metalwork kit:

What do you think about the faceplate styling??? If we can all agree on the design, I can order the whole lot from FPE and get a discount. If we order 10 pieces, the price drops from 31.35 each to 25.08 each, and I can ship them out with the PCBs to consolidate shipping.

Can't view the faceplate artwork, but I'd be in for4 metal kits.

It's an FPD file, you have to rename it and open with Front Panel Designer.

But here's a screen cap. of the panel.

A basic design is fine  [ for me  ] on the face plate , but 25.00 still sounds pricey , unless
it costs more for me to order only two by myself , thanks for putting in the time !

Here's the price breakdown:

This looks like a wonderful project.

Please put me down for 4 PCB sets.  I can't find your email (not visible in profile), could you send it and I will paypal you the money.

If you establish a price for the front panels I am in for 2 front panels.

If you get a price for metal work, I would go for it too probably.

Thanks for doing all the work here!

I posted before, but things are getting buried. It's roddycluff AT hotmail DOT com. I've modified the first post with price info.

ok, set payment for 4 sets of PCB's.  Let us know when you have prices for Front Panel and/or metal.
