GroupdDIY 511 Racks: round 5.5 available

[[silent:arts]]

Cemal, I'm fine with you letting go the 512 proto

 

[Jean Clochet]

I've offered to help a fellow DIY'er lay out some stuff he wants that's compatible with the API Group DIY 18-pin rack and wondered if someone could check my measurements for me.  I got them from the threads on here and think they're OK but it'd be great if someone could let me know.
Anyway, a JPG's attached of the card outline.

Cheers in advance guys

maybe misreading, but your chamfer dimensions .020"x45° and .005"x45° seem to be mixed up in your detail.
Probably not GDIY51x related, but you might optionally add a .055/.320" cut out for a between_contact_polarizing_key between pins 13/14 that a 306series card edge connector might have fitted in and some old 500 cards seem to support as well.

Thanks Harpo.  I meant to have it be .02 and .05 so I must have slipped an extra place in by mistake!

OK got ya.  I'll add it in then.  Many thanks

Yay this is my first post and I am very happy to be here!.
I cannot wait to get into making a power supply as I have quite a few 500 type pre-amp modules but the power supply was lost!!.
Anyhow i will try not to ask too many dumb questions...I am not a complete newby so i think we will be ok...
I'll dive into reading some posts and will add more info later!!.
Thanks guys.

Extreme delay from the fabricator. They are snowed under.

Hopefully they'll be delivered to me  tomorrow and I'll get Jeff and Volker's shipments out this week.

So are there more rack kits available with this round or are all of the units already promised to people? I'd love to find a rack kit somewhere but it seems that these babies are too hot for their own good!

 

[jsteiger]

Depends where you are located. I still have stock for immediate shipment here in North America.

How much can one of the 51x psu 's run  ?  [ 2-51x racks ?  ]

Depends on the modules loaded in the racks. See more here http://classicapi.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=87_112&products_id=165

As Jeff said he has sufficient stock for immediate dispatch for US and Canada.

Volker (for EC) and I'll (for UK and ROW)  have sufficient stock too. Not to worry.

Latest update is that all  units have passed the quality control and will be shipped to me on Friday.

I have been offered one of these racks and am doing due diligence... hope all is well with you!

Do you guys ever plan to make like a half version of your 51x rack. Like a 51x lunchbox or 4 unit rack?

Also is the full kit power supply that your company provide the-same like the one at the Classic Audio website where it is all red and it is a full kit, no other parts needed?

Do you have a list of modules that may have seating issues using the 18pin connectors?

Thanks

no

Jeff from classic api is part of the company 
however, you are right, the PSU in the first post isn't available anymore, that post should be updated

fully enclosure modules could have problems, but they are rare

Hello all, my first post and very happy to have found this thread! The GroupDIY 511 Rack looks like like the ultimate modular platform for building into. Sahib, I would very much appreciate being notified when (and if) there is availability in the UK.

Richard
