Parts for a PIMETA

[xchagg 0]

Hi, I'm thinking of building a PIMETA next.

 

Tangent is still out of the RK097 pot (the one with built-in switch). Are there local sources for this particular pot? I found something similar in RS, but the manufacturer number doesn't quite tally. Can someone take a look and see if they might be the same pot? The correct manufacturer's number should be RK0971221Z05, but is listed on RS as STRK09707.

 

RS Stock No.: 249-9159

 

As for the case, which of the following Hammonds would be a good size case to fit the board and 2 9Vs or 12 AA/AAAs? It's not meant to be portable, but I don't want too huge a case sitting on the desk.

 

Hammond Cases

 

Other case suggestions are welcome too, as long as it's plastic. (Drill not good enough haha)

 

On a side note, I managed to properly case up my CMOY2, LM6171, LED and all (on the 3rd Hammond case lol), except i screwed up the volume knob positioning. Is there a way to remove the volume knob from the shaft and reposition it? I was considering heating up the knob, dunno if it'll work though.

 

Thanks.

 

EDIT: One more question . . is there a local source for the Vishay Dale RN55 series resistors?

that pot is fine it just needs an external switch

ah well, the pot in question is back in stock at Tangent so no need for alt pots . . .

 

Again, is there a local source for the Vishay Dale RN55 series resistors?

 

And if a Tupperware is used as a casing, is there cause for worry of static electricity buliding up inside the casing and frying the ICs?

 

Thx.

Not too worry about that. Opamp are stronger than you think.
