1176 in 51x/500 format: FEELER. Goto page 5 for pre-orders.

OK.......

There will be 2 options:
PCB set (moderate priced, for those who want cheap version or their own fronts etc)
Full kits (everything is inside, metal works, front panel, Grayhill switches, etc).
Full kits will not include input/output transformers and 600 Ohm T-pad,
the reason is many people/many options).

PCB set contains: motherboard, ratio/attack/release boards for both 500 and 1RU versions,
5 different mini-boards for amplifiers including my vision of input amplifier
(IMHO, the best sounding option here), i.e. all boards needed for this build.

Download the docs meanwhile!

I think, it is right time to add word FEELER to this thread.

PCB sets will be priced USD80, shipping included.

Full kits (pcb'+all parts, incl. Grayhill switches, ELMA knobs,
fronts, aluminium brackets, everything needed for this build, HI-FI version,
except transformers and 600 Ohm T-pad):
USD450 incl. shipping, if we have more than 10 orders.

We have 8 compressors pre-ordered now, and seems we will issue F76 as commercial unit.
So.....all parts in-stock!

Shipping discount USD12 for second kit, USD10 for every additional kit.
If you order 2 kits, I can put matched FET's without charge, just write this.

Shipping discount on every additional PCB set is USD5.

Time frame: pre-ordering till Nov 20th, shipping- you will receive
PCB's and kits before Dec 20th (Christmass build

You can add your name till Nov 20th.

Here is the list:

Igor 8 kits at least
Zayance 2pcb's
Loopermc5 2 kits
bluesbaz 2 kits
Meathands 2 kits
RedNoise 1 kit
AP carrier 1 kit
briomusic 2 pcb sets
antfoodw 1(2) kit(s)--please specify


Anyway, we have a time till 20th November, you can add your name or modify the order.
Just write it in this thread

 

[zayance]

2 PCB sets please, but is it possible to include metal Bracket and Frontpanel? If yes what would be the price. Thanks

Not worth it, IMHO.
Minimum price for PCB+bracket+front panel should in range $175.
I have 8 orders for F76 (built units) for now, ordering the stock, and kit's price calculated
by the way it is cheaper than ordering from 3 suppliers, shipping, etc.

Yes i know it's always cheaper in full kit, but i have most of the components in spare, most of them not all that's why i'm asking for PCB set, and it allows me to order when i want to build it, but i have until 20th November so i'll think about it and change if so...
Now if i stay with PCB set, then concerning faceplate, bracket is available from Volker that i know, and i'm sure you will give CDR, now i'm wondering if drilling the holes nicely will be a Pita, get me thinking, anyway for now put me down for 2x PCB set, i'll change if needed.
Thanks a lot.

 

[Igor]

Yes, of course, if somebody interested in front panel cdr's- will post them.

Meanwhile, we worked out the combined shipping deal on Lundahl output transformers with
Andre TchMil....

 

[zayance]

Yes, of course, if somebody interested in front panel cdr's- will post them.

I'd like to have it if it's possible, maybe you can add them to the GroupDiy docs? Thanks again Igor for this project....

 

[Igor]

Added, updated...
/I mean, cdr's and list, both of them

 

[haima]

hey igor - looks great!

what output transformer options are there? i searched the thread, but couldn't see details about this.

obviously there's the lundahl option, but does it also fit one of the ed anderson's API style output transformers, available from jeff @ classic api?

http://classicapi.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=21_37

i.e. EA 2503 or EA 2623-1?

On the Motherboard BOM it says:

OUTPUT TRANSFORMER:
1   LL1524(1517), API OUTPUT, ETC               T1  

I took it as a yes.

 

[haima]

thanks zayance - i thought so...

i have some old profile API output transformers - ideally i'd use them rather than spending more $$... 

 

[bluesbaz]

two full kits please.

 

[Meathands]

Two full kits here as well, please.

 

[RedNoise]

Hi Igor , please count me in for two pcb+metalwork .
Many thanks.

 

[AP carrier]

Hi Igor,

One full kit for me please.

Thanks,
Andrew

 

[briomusic]

Hi Igor,
two pcb sets for me please 
cheers
Briomusic

 

[antfoodw]

Hi Igor,

Thanks for doing this.  I'm definitely in for one full kit and probably two with matched fets if finances allow...

 

[RedNoise]

Hi Igor , if possible , I'll go with one full kit only.Many thanks.
T : positivity dealer!Ahahahaa!

 

[edanderson]

a lot of good options for output transformers if there is a pinout for LL1517 and a cutout for API 2503 size... cinemag, jensen, sowter all have catalog offerings that will fit that cutout.  then there's the 2503 from classicapi, the mini 1166 from hairball, and soon the same b11148 output used in the 1176 rev F will be available for peter purpose's la3a 500 module -- that should fit this PCB and have the original 1176 flavor.
