Micro turret board for submini tube preamp

[bancika]

Hi folks,
I started working on 6021 dual channel preamp based on the schematic I found on this forum. Since I only have time to work one weekends, this is what I've made so far.
The first one will be for the preamp itself and is made using miniature turrets I bought by mistake (2000 of them to be precise  ). It was a bit of a pain to install them but it worked out fine after I broke two of them
The other board is for the power supply, both B+ and heaters with regulation (together with a huge heat sink)





Btw, don't aks me why are those 4 eyelets installed in the opposite direction 

More to come the next weekend...

Neat. Would be nice to see it next to something recognizable for scale (9v battery, regular-sized human hand...)

[bancika]

the whole board is 6" long. As a reference, those larger mounting holes are 3mm (a bit under 1/8") and smaller strain relief holes are 2mm.
turrets are about 1/8" tall.
Cheers

Ah, cool! I'll be interested to see the amp take shape.

Cool! Where did you get those turrets?
Looks nice so far.

got them on ebay. I was looking for regular sized turrets, saw 2000 of those for 15 bucks and bought them without bothering to read the datasheet
They are keystone 1528-3 on this link http://www.keyelco.com/products/specs/single-turret-terminals-spec.asp

Bane if you don't have a use for all that mini turrets i would love to buy some from you.
I need them for the relay boards of a tube amp i 'm building.

I wouldn't mind selling you a couple of hundred of them but I'm not in USA any more which makes it hard for me to ship them. You could grab some at mouser http://www2.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Keystone-Electronics/1528-3/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtzcnMBgC2bs8Ww1YbjsP0nLZ2WgzmDXw0%3d
It's not a great price though, they cost me less than a cent each.
Cheers

Bane I am not living in USA either, I 'm from Greece.
I know that mouser have them but overseas shipment plus import taxes makes the cost ridiculous.
I guess it's better to wait for a similar ebay action.
Thanks

so you're not that far...I'm in serbia. These are so small they can fit inside a regular envelope. I'm trying to avoid our customs, they are pain in the butt.
I'll see how easy is to ship from here and let you know...

[dimitris]

That would be great Bane, thanks

[bancika]

PM me your address and I'll try to send some when I have time...
