Does anyone know a place in the US that sells something like this?
Cases are getting closer. They went to paint today. He is usually a fast turn around then to my silk screener. Hopefully he will be a quick turn around as well. Finger crossed! I have all my parts here as well so I am waiting on them also.
Hey guys, I just mounted my filters in my case. Just a few tips that might save you a little time.
1. No need for Standoffs. Just use the pots to hold the boards. They are plenty strong for that and it will save you a ton of work not having to drill the bottom panel for standoffs.
2. You should use the washers that Collin sends with the pots. Put them between the Pots and the Front panel. I tried it without them at first and the bypass switches didn't always have enough room to travel the full distance in order to latch and unlatch. With the washers they work great.
3. Assembly order: I soldered the bypass switches fully into the PCB's. Then I solder one pin on each Pot to hold the pots in place. After that I mounted all the PCB's to the front panel. I did this to ensure a nice fit. Once I had all the PCB's mounted to the front panel I soldered the rest of the pins on the Pots. Worked like a charm.
I am pretty sure if you have already solder switches and pots in you will have no problem with them fitting. There seems to be enough wiggle room all around.
Ok, cases are in the mail if you have ordered them. Now I need to sort out my PSU and get the DB25 wired up!

I accidentally under-ordered pots. As soon as the rest of them and my power supply pcbs show up I'm ready to throw these suckers together. I'll get some pics up as soon as I do!

I almost have mine wired up. Just need to figure out what I will do for the PSU and knobs. Really close!

No, I was kind of waiting for the AML kit but then I spoke to Colin and he said it might be a while so I should probably just order the parts myself. What power supply are you intending to use? I'm thinking about a Traco switchmode for simplicity...
Hey guys I got boards back today. Hit me up with an email if you need boards and or cases for these.
