rotary dial hole at the front, toggle switch at the back.

Hi Doors666, what is the toggle switch for? I'm asking because you have already opted for making a hole in the front for the rotary switch.

 

[omishra]

also the face plate cannot be detatched and reattatched more than a couple times- Reason the side panel is aluminum extrusion and the self tapping threads in extrusions wear out if you use them too much
For this reason i will be including some extra long screws meant for the front panel ( in case the original threads wear out - use these extra long screws - they will make their own threads as you screw them in )

Hi Magma,
Can't we put some plastic plug inside excursion before putting screws? This can save some aluminum. There are many types, you know better.
basic example -

Also if whole needs to be widened or made then can't anybody mask all surface with masking tape and use power drill to work?

Regards,

In case somebody doesnt want to go for a rotary dial right away due to additional expense, they can use the hole at the back for a toggle switch.

How much extra expense for 2-pole, 2-position rotary switch (in place of toggle switch)? I feel everybody could move to that rotary switch.

I guess we can easily drop that option in that case. will make things simpler too. I will remove it from the document.

extrusion hole is too small to accomodate these ^^
its only 3mm in dia and can accomodate only an M4 screw of a self tapping screw or suitable threads ( however if using self tapping you have to be content with the regular screw driver head)

obviously masking can be done - that will decrease chances of all scratches
however - drilling the faceplate will require removing it - and that is what i want everyone to avoid as far as possible

In case somebody doesnt want to go for a rotary dial right away due to additional expense, they can use the hole at the back for a toggle switch.

but why cant everyone just opt for an expanded hole inthe front ( i.e 6.9mm ) and use the same for the dpdt or ip selector

sachin OM
does the expanded hole 6.9mm instead of 5.5mm look so much differnt ( i,e bad ? )

Yes Captain, I opted for bare bone cab. Hence no hole except IEC power socket. Same for heat sink cab. I will drill rear holes as required and not tweaking faceplate.

 

[baswamin]

I have updated the sheet. Thanks for discussing these finer details about the cab.

Thanks

 

[gopib]

Hi,

I have also update the sheet. I need one cab for b1 with the Y for all the options. to keep it simple. The second cab I need a bare bones one with the IEC socket.

 

[kroyin]

Updated the sheet. All i need is a 1 input pair, 1 output pair,IEC & Volume control

7 people have opted for the 2nd hole on the face plate for the rotary switch (dia 6.9mm), additional aluminium knob for the roatry switch and additional holes for RCA plugs to make it a total of four inputs.

Two people want bare bone cabinet. Two are yet to exercise their option.

@Magma, you can take your call accordingly.

out of the above only kroyin and joseph john have opted not to enlarge the front hole
i can do that for them- i suppose ( i will have to make sure their 2 cabs are kept seperate)

Now they have also voted no NO extra inputs
HOWEVER that is not possible-
(i didnt understad why there was voting for this -because this was NEVER an option)
i had stated very early in the thread that i will be giving 4 inputs to ALL
NOT less NOT more

kroyin, joseph
im sorry
you have to find a way to fill up the extra ip holes

 

[kroyin]

No problem sir...what I want is not what I get...ain't that the universal truth

 

[josephjohnt]

@magma, i will go with the standard cabinet with holes. i just realized after captain pm'ed that i could use the selector and additional inputs.

 

[svaze]
