a phono-to-mini panel. its not wired but the hard part is over.
it was a tight fit!
it occurs to me now to have another mini row down the middle for a thru or mult functionality. hindsight.

bad ass!

Did you make that out of a 8HP blank panel, or did you roll it from scratch?

super nice, i've made a few of those in rack ears, but my holes are never nicely lined up like yours

the secret is using a straight sticker with tic marks, then a nice sharp sharpie to make little black dots. then its all about the center punch to get the hole started straight without the drill drifting.

tell me about it. ive already kicked myself in the ass for not doing this the first time. i fucked up some original unobtanium stooge panels for a few oakley designs--i could have strangled myself.

welp, all done!. a shot of silver tequila and a beer and the soldering flew by in no time.
i take back what i said about including a center row.
i need that space to get a finger in there to pull the plugs when im repatching!

btw, i did all the 'design' work while i was sitting in front of a movie: peaceful warrior
it was a good movie to be concentrating on this
