Self-adhesive covering film (the sort you use to cover your expensive textbooks at university) to protect paper panel labels. At 33cm x 3m, there is enough protective film to cover 15 A5 panels. (Correction: 12 or maybe 13. A5 is 21cm, I assumed 20cm in my head. Yes I do mental arithmetic, I’m that old.) (Second correction: that’s 12 or 13 A5 panels per metre. So plenty of panels is a better answer.)
Ten black binding posts. These are a kind of hybrid banana jack. They’re commonly used as loudspeaker connection terminals. They’ll be handy as external earth connections. I like to think of their function as providing a return path for incoming signals. More or less correct.
The patch cable there has one end plugged into a binding post. A second binding post is shown alongside it, unscrewed so you can see how it can take spade connectors or even bare wire.
Slowly more stuff is arriving…today I received some PCB’s and a giant chip from AmazingSynth that I ordered 6 weeks ago. (Not their fault…mail delays from the UK) Quality on these PCB’s are really nice. Way better than other places in the US that I’ve gotten them from.
I also received my birthday present to myself (2 months late from the UK) a couple of OMD t-shirts. One of my favorite bands of all-time.
I also received another Mouser order with more SMD and a few through-hole parts for things.
I don’t know what I’m more jealous of-the fact that Anchor has opened back up for your shopping pleasure, or the fact that you have Anchor near you in the first place! >sigh< Maybe next time you go, you could shoot a short video of what it’s like to walk up and down the aisles for those of us out in the electronic boonies!
You’ll have to pull out Vintage Mims to figure out what to do with the old Realistic branded stuff! Be careful with those caps. (Don’t go licking any terminals before you discharge them good!)
more pieces parts for up coming projects .
paper to redo the MFOS face plates now that I have enough of the same aluminum . I will be able to get rid of the steel and not so well cut panels. plus this time around I will make the same type of module the same color , much easier to use that way.
Delivery time was 62 days. Now I can finally start to make the euro rack oscilloscope I planned 2 months ago after @Piecho pointed to this site: radiopench.blog96.fc2.com
Slowly things are starting to come and then I can finish off some modules I’ve been missing parts for and start some new ones.
Today’s prizes include:
A couple of LMNC modules, alpha dual gang pot, tempco resistor, 3 SMD pt23999 chips, Eurorack cables, some PCB’s and face plates, Weston kit, and a few straggler parts for a couple of modules that Mouser was sold out of from Digikey.
For a while I didn’t have anything to build and now I have a ridiculous number of things to build.
