Muff's Modules & More

GROUP BUY NOW CLOSED Multiples of 50 please. Minimum 50. Europe only.
You must have a Muffwiggler post count of 50+ to order.
Mentions in the good trader thread in BST are nice but not necessarily required...

Variants of this mono, 3.5mm switching jack are the type Make Noise, Cwejman, Wiard & Harvestman use. This is the best variant for DIY IMO, as also recommended by Clarke68 on his panel runs.

These aren't back in stock at Mouser until early July (thank god I have a stash man) so it seems like a good time to build up a Group buy.

I'm going to require everyone to pay in advance of me making the final order, and I'll be strict about the cutoff date, let's set a preliminary payment period of June 25th - July 4th. Shipping will be recorded/registered. I'm going to be transparent about costs and I'll add on 5% for my time and to help me cover any that go missing in the post etc. If it goes beyond 3000 pieces I may revise that %.

So prices including UK VAT and my 5% (not including shipping) are:

Total Order_____Price for 50
1000+________£13.48
2000 +________£12.58
5000+_________£11.53 <- Current Price Estimate

You should expect to receive these mid July.

POSTAGE COSTS IN GBP

If you are in the US and want some then please go ahead and set up a US group buy smile

Having these come over from Texas and then sent back over the Atlantic again would be kinda absurd. Dead Banana

To order, send the following to me either by PM or email - steve at thonk dot co dot uk

Monobass · Posted: Fri May 11, 2012 5:16 am Post subject:

I might be persuaded to open this up to Asia/Australasia also, let's see.

ultrashock · Posted: Fri May 11, 2012 5:37 am Post subject:

I'm reserving for 100 for now but probably later will considerably increase the amount.
And I'm also interested in the same Kobiconn but stereo-jacks which could be put at the cv\audio outputs by soldering the ring leg to GND and do not mess with the common GND wiring when attaching these jacks to PCB directly like Harvestman and MN do (I suppose, Cwejman uses another jacks manufacturer)
The Chinese clones sold bz Musikding.de or Banzaimusic.de are lo quality and unreliable.

L-1 · Posted: Fri May 11, 2012 6:00 am Post subject:

Cwejman uses these but with another nuts.
I'll be at least in 300 or maybe in 500, will decide later.

How about group buy of these Lumberg 3.5 plugs?

Thanks

And how to find these Cwejman nuts? They are very nice.

I think I remember reading he had them manufactured himself.

100 please mate smile

is anyone doing a group buy for suitable knobs & pots for your AT AT AT ?

lazerkind · Posted: Fri May 11, 2012 6:33 am Post subject:

Monobass · Posted: Fri May 11, 2012 6:34 am Post subject:

well pots for attenuators... you could use so many different types. I'm looking into knobs, but for example Banzai don't offer discounts for bulk over 100 on the Davies clones so it doesn't really seem worth it.

Memory_Leak · Posted: Fri May 11, 2012 6:49 am Post subject:

Ok, are those Davies clones on your prototype panel? like them alot.

julian · Posted: Fri May 11, 2012 7:09 am Post subject:

Steve,

You need to remind people that the price will be another 20% higher than the price on the links, as, whilst mouser covers the duty, they dont cover the vat.

So people need to multiply the listed price by 1.25 to get their actual price.

I may be interested if the order gets vast.

Reptil · Posted: Fri May 11, 2012 7:37 am Post subject:

Monobass · Posted: Fri May 11, 2012 7:45 am Post subject:

updated the first post with estimated prices including UK VAT, which I have to pay, and my 5% (not including shipping)

Total Order_____Price for 50
1000+________£13.48
2000 +________£12.47
5000+_________£11.40

Monobass · Posted: Fri May 11, 2012 8:10 am Post subject:

UK VAT is 20%. I'm only doing this for a good deal, so if anyone else can get us a better deal on sales tax and wants to take on the responsibility I'm totally cool with that thumbs up

Just last night I ordered a bunch of these. From somewhere else and way more expensive. waah

Fiddlesticks. Luckily it was a small run. cool

Monobass · Posted: Fri May 11, 2012 12:39 pm Post subject:

Ah well... These are 6-7 weeks away at least.

rowman · Posted: Fri May 11, 2012 12:58 pm Post subject:

hmm, would these jacks be a significant quality improvement from these?

Monobass · Posted: Fri May 11, 2012 2:56 pm Post subject:

I've always found posting to Australia and New Zealand straightforward yeah.

spotta · Posted: Fri May 11, 2012 3:16 pm Post subject:

Definitely 100, maybe more if I'm richer next month!

I'm fine with these. Just got them this morning and the quality is good. The metal sleeve is better than the plastic ones I bought locally, which look like those Lumberg (for 1,75 euro each Dead Banana

)

samuraipizzacat29 · Posted: Sat May 12, 2012 9:57 am Post subject:

what about the tayda stereo ones? any reason why these wouldn't work?
http://www.taydaelectronics.com/hardware/3-5mm-plugs-jacks/3-5mm-stere o-enclosed-socket.html

i bought 10 figuring i'd try them, but haven't got there yet. they look the same as the kobiconn ones from mouser.

FYI - DO *****NOT***** ORDER 3.5MM JACKS FROM FUTURLEC - THEY'RE CRAP!!!!! i've had a number break and they sent at least a dozen ones without threaded ends..... angry

Tombola · Posted: Sat May 12, 2012 12:45 pm Post subject:

What is the pinout on these? I've designed a board for the Erthenvar vertical jacks, wondering if there's any way these could be hacked onto it

Tombola · Posted: Sat May 12, 2012 12:54 pm Post subject:

Never mind - I just found a few, pretty sure that with a minimal kludge they'll work fine in the Erthenvar pcb space

L-1 · Posted: Sat May 12, 2012 12:57 pm Post subject:

only ground connection from another side, but it's no problem if to use metal frontpanel - enough to connect ground somewhere once.

I'll grab 150 thanks

edit: make that 300

Monobass · Posted: Sun May 13, 2012 11:06 am Post subject:

Good news, we broke 2000 total order, next price break is at 5000.

rowman · Posted: Sun May 13, 2012 11:22 am Post subject:

Upped my order from 150 to 300.
I'd like to see a group buy for 9mm pots...

Monobass · Posted: Sun May 13, 2012 11:38 am Post subject:

I was considering doing one for pots also, any preferences?

jln · Posted: Sun May 13, 2012 11:51 am Post subject:

I think I'd go for 50 please.

edit/ Most likely I'd also buy some pots if there is a group buy /edit.

These
http://www.smallbearelec.com/servlet/Detail?no=1139
and these
http://www.smallbearelec.com/servlet/Detail?no=693
are what I was planning on buying.
(and also these haha http://www.smallbearelec.com/servlet/Detail?no=1186)
I've never bought pots before so I'm definitely open to better ideas.

magman · Posted: Mon May 14, 2012 3:48 am Post subject:

I'll go for at least 150.

Magman

rowman · Posted: Mon May 14, 2012 5:27 am Post subject:

Hmm, how much would shipping be roughly?
Sorry to do this, but depending on the price of shipping, if this doesn't get to 5000 I might be better off just getting these with the rest of my personal Mouser order. Should have done the numbers properly before posting, my bad.

Monobass · Posted: Mon May 14, 2012 7:08 am Post subject:

hey rowman, yeah I did wonder if you'll end up paying sales tax/VAT twice because you're in Australia. It'll just be cost plus like 0.5GBP for a jiffy bag, you can check prices at RoyalMail.com

rowman · Posted: Mon May 14, 2012 7:30 am Post subject:

Sales tax for international items in Australia is only on orders over $1000 so it seems like this will be completely painless thumbs up

Thanks for organising this !

Monobass · Posted: Wed May 23, 2012 10:48 am Post subject:

Please note the current price is clearly highlighted in red in the first post, we're currently in the 2000-5000 order bracket and that price includes UK VAT and my handling fee.

Lockheed · Posted: Thu May 24, 2012 1:59 am Post subject:

I'll take 100.

Thanks for doing the hard work!

Jarno · Posted: Thu May 24, 2012 3:27 am Post subject:

Nearly out of them, so I'll take 100.

Thanks!

Monobass · Posted: Thu May 24, 2012 4:13 am Post subject:

I don't want to jump the gun as we've not ordered yet, and I'm not going to edit the first post just yet either... but these seem to now be listed as 5% cheaper on Mouser for 2000+ than when I started the IC. thumbs up

jln · Posted: Thu May 24, 2012 4:25 am Post subject:

Is it still possible to add 50 more (so 100 in total) ?

Monobass · Posted: Thu May 24, 2012 4:42 am Post subject:

yep it'll be fine to keep adding until mid-late June.

Monobass · Posted: Thu May 24, 2012 4:44 am Post subject:

Monobass · Posted: Fri May 25, 2012 11:42 am Post subject:

damn.. do they do any with metal strain relief rather than the black? I have thought about making up my own cables, but I don't like those black plastic bits.

SMS303 · Posted: Fri May 25, 2012 12:01 pm Post subject:

I'll keep this thread in mind...
don't know i'll have budget available when ordertime close...
i do need them for at least 2 quadslope & 2 CLee dual lpg Clarke panels...
that's at least around 80-90 pieces plus more for my backlog, will make it at least 150-200..

no more post from me in this thread means no budget razz

L-1 · Posted: Fri May 25, 2012 12:21 pm Post subject:

any friends by taste and color..
I like these and Lumberg things overall.

Monobass · Posted: Fri May 25, 2012 12:45 pm Post subject:

I think I would personally go for Neutriks as I like their very plain style.. they have no stress relief spring though which is annoying.

L-1 · Posted: Fri May 25, 2012 12:54 pm Post subject:

Neutrik is good but I never has 3.5 mm mono from them.

Monobass · Posted: Fri May 25, 2012 1:17 pm Post subject:

they are nice I think, very simple compact design

L-1 · Posted: Fri May 25, 2012 2:11 pm Post subject:

OOOOOOO!!! I like black! Correlate with my PCBs new style - gold on black!

Maybe it's possible to use them with more thick cables than usually?

Monobass · Posted: Fri May 25, 2012 2:30 pm Post subject:

yeah the black are nice smile

... the data sheet say they can take 4mm diameter cable, there is also one that takes 6mm cable but it's silver only.

I know it's a matter of taste but I don't like floppy cables.. I'd like to have more rigid cables that hold their shape, I wonder if 4mm is enough for that.

Edit: Ad Infinitum and TipTop StackCables are 3mm diameter cable.

L-1 · Posted: Fri May 25, 2012 3:09 pm Post subject:

Yes, my cables are too 3mm, only some 4.
4 mm I like more too. But I never buy ready-made ones, I always make myself. After 100s I make them like a pro))

Interesting, which brand uses Buchla for their 30$ each audio cables?

Monobass · Posted: Fri May 25, 2012 3:26 pm Post subject:

I'll let you know if I do a group buy wink

it won't be for a few months yet though.

Monobass · Posted: Mon Jun 11, 2012 8:19 am Post subject:

ok it seems like we'll very probably be sticking in the 2000-5000 price bracket if everyone orders (at either the minimum or maximum that people specified).

Getting another 1500 added doesn't seem impossible though. Any more big takers?

Monobass · Posted: Thu Jun 14, 2012 3:58 pm Post subject:

The 4550 total on the front page is assuming everyone buys the max they mentioned.

Some people have just said something like '100+'. So now would be a good time to get some more solid ideas of actual max, let's assume we break 5000 now.

If anyone needs to dial back figures they've mentioned to date, now is the time to let me know.

how does everyone feel about pulling the payment cutoff date forward to June 25th? Please PM me if that's a problem for you.

Order details are in the second thread.

Please note I intend to ship jacks out in the order in which they are paid for. So say we actually end up in the situation where we get close to the amount Mouser are restocking (8000) I'll need to supply the people who pay early first.

I'm actually in a position now where i'll probably put the order in before Monday, but please do endeavor to pay me by monday so I don't incur credit card interest!

I'm also going to still have spares for sale as I'm ordering extras, so keep the orders coming.

Monobass · Posted: Thu Jun 21, 2012 1:24 pm Post subject:

the 2nd post in the thread is now updated with the statuses of everyone who has ordered or shown interest.

I haven't made the effort to track the amounts people have ordered here, your invoice is the reliable confirmation of how many you have ordered.

So Mouser did have the ~7000 pieces due in tomorrow, 27th June, they've now pushed this back to 5th July. will keep you informed. you can view delivery dates here - http://uk.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Kobiconn/16PJ138/?qs=oQGaBZOgWEbaXS fkKZSXCA%3d%3d

Mouser say:

"I checked your order and it seems that the 5th of July is a confirmed in-stocked date for Mouser so you could expect the parcel to be shipped out to you from Texas by the next day."

Hmmm, well Mouser assured me these would be in stock on the 5th.. The website now says the 17th July angry

Rest assured guys that I already have the address labels printed, attached to envelopes, with customs forms filled out. When these hit my doorstep they'll be on their journey to you 2 hours later thumbs up

Jarno
where this black jacks came from?

Jarno · Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2012 3:45 am Post subject:

They're actually two different ones, places I ordered from in the past are Conrad (in NL, but I assume they have the same assortment in Germany), and Rapid in the UK. IIRC, I have also ordered some on eBay, but that's a long time ago. Conrad or Rapid are the most likely candidates.

Monobass, thanks!

Monobass · Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2012 3:54 am Post subject:

I bought some stereo black ones that look like those on eBay.

Monobass · Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2012 3:52 am Post subject:

Mouser have confirmed these parts should be with them on the 17th of July. Thanks for your patience sad banana

Jarno · Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2012 4:22 am Post subject:

Aaarrgggghh, I feel a big order at Rapid coming up!!!

Monobass · Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2012 4:44 am Post subject:

I think I probably went too far with the sad banana nanners

well it might have just worked out, mouser just mailed this to me

16PJ138 - FREIGHT FORWARDER SENT AN E-MAIL STATING THAT THEY HAD FOUND THE PREVIOUSLY LOST SHIPMENT AND IT SHOULD BE DELIVERED WITHING NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. WE ARE VERY SORRY FOR THIS DELAY"

Should have gotten in on this. I have a PCB on the way here that takes 28 of these jacks. There's actually 10 of these PCBs coming, but with any luck they are faulty and I don't need these jacks so bad...

hmmm.....

Monobass · Posted: Fri Jul 13, 2012 9:01 am Post subject:

I'll have extras so if people want to start queuing up for those please post how many you want in this thread, don't PM me as I might miss it.

I won't deal with extras until all current orders are fulfilled, and I can't confirm how many I'll have spare yet.

Monobass · Posted: Wed Jul 18, 2012 1:34 am Post subject:

Good news, Mouser have confirmed these are shipping from Texas soon.

jln · Posted: Wed Jul 18, 2012 4:08 am Post subject:

Yeeha !

Thanks Monobass for taking care of this.

Jarno · Posted: Wed Jul 18, 2012 4:15 am Post subject:

That's good news, BUT, isn't "soon" logistics-speak for "we don't really know when the buggers will finally be in our warehouse"? razz

Still, kickass job Monobass! Can't wait to get my hands on them (been using all sorts of shite I had in my partsboxes).

Monobass · Posted: Wed Jul 18, 2012 6:25 am Post subject:

They say they have them in the warehouse so fingers crossed.. I might even be able to ship out this saturday based on how long it's taken things to turn up from Mouser at this point.

falafelbiels · Posted: Wed Jul 18, 2012 6:29 am Post subject:

wwbjd · Posted: Wed Jul 18, 2012 11:37 am Post subject:

Mine just arrived (I'm in Dallas), so guessing everyone will be getting them very soon.

Monobass · Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2012 5:29 am Post subject:

Jacks anyone? These arrived too late for me to ship out today, but they'll be going out the door tomorrow.

Monobass · Posted: Fri Jul 20, 2012 4:43 am Post subject:

All paid orders shipped today.

Wow! You should start your own logistics company "Mono's SDIY Odds and Ends".

Monobass · Posted: Fri Jul 20, 2012 5:40 am Post subject:

Yeah, I'm just coming to the end of three months off work, being a fulltime dad, I'm not sure I'll be doing so many group buys once I go back to work! But I have a pretty good system in place now, so it's not impossible.

demian · Posted: Fri Jul 20, 2012 6:25 am Post subject:

Maybe you are doing a banana jack groupbuy sometime? hihi

Monobass · Posted: Fri Jul 20, 2012 6:56 am Post subject:

what is a banana jack? I don't think anyone needs those cool

regenbot · Posted: Fri Jul 20, 2012 6:58 am Post subject:

you sound like my wife

Jarno · Posted: Fri Jul 20, 2012 9:47 am Post subject:

Congrats on the kid! But two is a LOT busier, that will take a significant chunk out of your spare time. We have two and that's plenty. Luckily the wife is now convinced of that too.

Do wonder if they can make up for the lost hobby time later on, to help stuff pcb's, assemble kits etc. might be a few years though (mine are 3 and 1). Mr. Green

Hi Steve

If you ended up with any leftovers, I'd love to get 50...

Cheers

Lockheed · Posted: Thu Aug 02, 2012 5:59 am Post subject:

Still waiting for mine to arrive cry

Has everyone else got their batch of jacks?

rowman · Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2012 9:44 am Post subject:

Got mine! Cheers!

Monobass · Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2012 12:26 pm Post subject:

I dropped you an email Lockheed. I would have expected everyone to received them by now. 99% of you went for the insured option so it should be ok.

Lockheed · Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2012 3:52 pm Post subject:

Thanks monobass, I'm hoping they'll arrive some day. Let's wait a couple of weeks.

EDIT: 150 jacks came in today's mail. The parcel had apparently taken a little detour as it was pretty beaten up, but contents intact w00t

L-1 · Posted: Tue Aug 07, 2012 11:06 am Post subject:

Got mine! Thank you very much!

Now I want custom nuts for them.

Monobass · Posted: Tue Aug 07, 2012 12:22 pm Post subject:

Nice, where to get them?

muncky · Posted: Mon Aug 13, 2012 2:42 pm Post subject:

Hey Steve

If you have any left over, can I order 50?

Cheers
Grant

oisin · Posted: Thu Sep 06, 2012 1:09 pm Post subject: anymore?

Zergon · Posted: Sat Nov 10, 2012 7:25 am Post subject:

Can't resist... I'd take another 100 or 200.
