gotta ask; for your own enjoyment (EEK!) or for clients? Out of curiosity, how much would a build like that cost?  |

of the 3 that are built 2 are mine and one is in NYC with a client who paid far too little for it but the price was agreed before the build and I never go back on my word
The 10 that are being built will be for open sale when they are finished not before
The price will be decided when they are finished as I am logging my time on them all SM caps are done that’s 30 per board 2 boards per module 10 modules
Im taking a brake but will resume when time allows after I move house in the next few weeks
Let’s just say the price will be less resembling and more resembling

@wetterberg and @the bad producer - thanks for the leads on the Verniers. I'll probably grab some from that contact on e-m
Krisp- you're a brave soul! Those string filters sound sweet, though. Worth a little

| I've been a rather large fan ( no laughter from those who have met me ) of the Neutrik NYS226 plugs. Allied seems to have the best price on them and keeps them in stock. All metal, easy to terminate RG174 into. They are, well, very solid feeling. |

sounds interesting.... i posted a question about 3.5mm or 1/8th inch plugs on the jacks group buy thread about just such a thing.
i'm looking for an alternative to those used buy Blacet & the REALLLY pricy swicthcraft ones i know about.
flight mentioned (i think) that kobiconn do some good ones also.
do you know the price on these Neutriks @ Allied???

58cents ea Q100. $71.18 delivered. They are very solid feeling vs some of the Kobiconn plugs I tried which felt "thin walled" for lack of better description. I got one Blacet kit years ago and it had the same plugs which, while I used them, I just don't care for.

Here's some tasty Neutriks for cheap:
$1.06 each. They are TRS, but will work fine & are excellent quality. Either ground the ring or leave it unconnected.
These are good too:

Yup. I like the ones like the Calrads above, they also have the spring strain relief. 171-PA3191-2-E
What I really like about these is the tip connection is a cylinder, not a flimsy tab that may contact the sleeve connection or the handle.
Dataheet
They're $1.01 each if you get 10 or more.

Hey flight, I just posted in the DIY thread regarding sourcing some mono sockets for my Klee. I then remebered I had your choices barebones still packed up to be built  so I whipped one of the white sockets out and they are long enough to poke through the 3mm klee panel. Can I ask where you got them as I need some of those quickly.
Are they these by any chance ?

im looking for a good place to pick parts up from. i really need the 12v plugs that goes from the modular to the PSU.
does anyone know a site i can get these?
and if anyone has a good generic list of parts to order in bulk to put together eurorack kits that would really help out a lot. |

Close, but not quite. They should work OK, but the white ones are the 16PJ137, and are the cheapest as well.

I just received an email from the local distributor. It appears that Switchcraft has been working on my request to adapt the 142A as a 3.5mm jack and I should have the first samples in early June.
I'll keep y'all posted!

Oh crap, I never did follow up, huh?
They lied. They didn't even change the bushing, and the screwy switch they use doesn't work with 3.5mm plugs so they would require a massive tooling fee and minimum yearly order.

| flight wrote: | Sounds like those jacks are the Swiitchcraft 142A, or a clone thereof - especially since they're only CA$1.10! They are almost USD$5.00 through Mouser. The 142A is 0.141" - neither 3.5mm or 1/8".
Plugs: I have always liked these Kobiconn plugs, here's the datasheet.
But I'm now finding that the knurling isn't deep enough for a good grip, so I'm looking for something else. I prefer metal-bodied plugs because they have a really small diameter body and I hate plastic. |
hey Flight!!! prolly at Namm right now??
anyways, did you ever look for & find something else in the plug department??
i'm finally gonna order these Kobiconn's you recommend & some of the Neutrik's to compare.... plugs that is. |

Nope, just stupi busy. I had to cancel my NAMM plans so I wouldn't fall behind schedule again.

I haven't had a chance to sample any other jacks yet, sigh. One of these lifetimes...
