Should I?

analag,
you've mentioned how you prefer the Fairchild topology compared to other vari-mu designs.

Could you comment on how the poor man might differ from perhaps a Manley Vari-Mu, or the thermionic culture Phoenix?(or Chiswick or Altec....)

thanks

I like the Fairchild topology because the sidechain is driven from a low impedance source, which makes it inherently faster among other things.

You guys know what font is the original Fairchild logo?

Speaking of which, I wonder if we could put together some standard panel graphics for Chae (http://www.groupdiy.com/index.php?topic=27917) to do some front panels here for us state side? We could decide on a standard front panel graphic for a 4 or 6u panel, he could gear up for it and we could just send them off to him?

That would be pretty cool.

I was just checking out my diagram of the original's dimensions,

If we were to go off the exact dimensions of the original's front panel (not the whole rack) height we would need a 5U Par-Metal type rack unit (original height @ 8.375" x 16" without ears, 5U would be 8.73" x 19", but the original panel did not have the rack ears included in those dimensions, the par-metal without ears would be 16.5" so it would be a pretty close fit).
