  Knobs - P/N - S151-250 Black  ,  Caps - P/N C151 White

hi guys
i'm looking for 4 pcbs, do you know where i might get them?

 

[audiophreak]

I think Peterc should still have them, or try the Black Market, I would also highly recommend Collins kits, (AML )  they have everything except PSU components.

 

[pietro_moog]

cool. i thought they just have components kits. i'll mail them, thanks.

 

[audiophreak]

  sorry.... AML does only have componat kits, I was just recommending them  ;D

 

[buschfsu]

Guys where is a good spot to tie in and out for unbalanced connection keeping in mind i need the bypass to work.? Thanks

 

[beatnik]

where to buy pcbs for this project? or, even better, a self etch file? i tried to search with no results

 

[JoeMorris]

Do AML not do component kits for these any more? I quite fancied building some

Updated: I mistakenly had this with 270degree scales, I fixed it up now. New link below
Hey guys. I designed a 4-channel Front panel.  here's the illustrator file: http://benlindell.com/diy/S800%20to%20Laser.ai

Here's pictures of a cardboard prototype:

Hey Ben, I was reading through this thread and you mentioned that you saw some weirdness in the frequency sweeps? Looking at your pictures closely, I think you have a "link (0 ohm) resistor where R41 should be, and a 47k resistor where the link should be. I haven't checked this against the schematic, so this might have nothing to do with the bands that you're having issues with, but I thought I'd point it out. Of course, I could also be horribly wrong.

Really great looking builds regardless.

Ben, looking over the schematic, the 47k resistor is right at the balanced output, doesn't appear to be related to the LMF at all.

Anyone here please.
I need to calibrate my pair of S800.
Do i need something special for calibration??
Thanks,

If I remember correctly, there's a trimmer for adjust unity gain, and that's all.

Finished four channels in purusha case. Just wanted to give you all a heads up on how they look like with Elma (I think?) knobs that I got off of electrochronic.

Cheers and thanks for an easy and good sounding project!
