Is that your iTunes on the screen? I see The Crow soundtrack and NIN Downward Spiral on there. Trying to remember who the other two covers belong to. 🤔

look I finally got the pots that disappeared in march . I Emailed Thonk about it a couple weeks ago not really expecting anything . but they checked the package tracking and saw they never made it here and sent out replacements . kinda sucks because it really wasn’t their fault , but it cost them to replace the parts. so please use them they are a great company [https://www.thonk.co.uk/](https://www.thonk.co.uk/) and their delivery is pretty quick even to the states .

I’ve only bought from Thonk once but it was cheaper than buying domestically because they had several things I needed and which I otherwise would’ve had to order from multiple sources in the US — postage rate was very good and they were prompt.

Yeah, this is one blank that is going to stay a blank. It’s aluminum too; none of that FR4 nonsense 🙂. Unknown Pleasures is probably my favorite album of all time. In other words, I would gladly take up any multiple of 25mm in my case with a Kosmo blank 😀

JLC order finally came today!  
Was supposed to be delivered yesterday.

Ciat-Lonbarde’s Rollz-5 Paper Circuit PCB conversions and some of my power boards.

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/2X/d/dd1ea6646983fb219cfcf9da625bdaa9517b3f7e.jpeg)

A restock on my 2-Rollz that sold stupid fast.  
These really do kick ass for random CV and triggering 🙂 (have to say I’m proud of this one lol)

Finally ordered some of the Mourning Dove boards that I have a thread about.  
Had fun making the blob traces for these!

This is another of my designs based on Peter’s work.  
They contain an arp exponential convertor and a multi-vibrator circuit circling the oscillators.  
This gives the user the ability to send the rollz circuits Control Voltages to their hearts content 😃

And finally,  
@analogoutput ‘s Dual Quantizer

I bought a whole bunch of these things I would call cable grips or cord grips, but apparently that’s something else these days and they’re now called cable glands.

These are PG13.5 size which is great for my fat five core cable but not so good for the slightly thinner three core used in domestic electricity supplies. Maybe I’ll use five core cable for the journey from plug to power supply, ignoring the two superfluous cores, or maybe I’ll just buy some smaller glands to fit my conventional domestic three core. I’m still investigating the pros and cons.

My main concern is that using the same kind of current carrier for two different power systems in the same enclosure sounds like setting up a lethal accident. I’m the kind of guy who won’t have a deep fryer in the house because of the potential for a terrible accident.

That would be my concern too, but a five cores cable is quite distinguishable from a three cores one… and if you want to be extra safe, just use a different colour from what you’re using for house voltage (not white nor black, but orange or pink for example)

We use brown, blue and green for our mains supply in the UK. I’m quite happy with having the three core going into my Mean Well power supply cabinet and the five core coming out. My concern relates to my idea of using five core for the mains supply as well for convenience, and frankly I’ve already decided against and I’ve ordered a heap of PG9 glands which should accommodate the mains cable well enough. I want to get this right because it’s much more important than any other part of my project.

I was talking about the outer plastic sleeve (not sure if that’s the correct word), one colour for high voltage, and another for low voltage.  
Like that:

Joy Divison blank! Oh how I love that! 😍

I need an O&C front panel. With Modular Addict temporarily gone I’ve lost my preferred NA supplier. ☹
