What kind of pots did you use on your prototype?
 
 
Thanks,

i used 9mm alpha.
 
you don't need threaded bushing. the sockets will hold the PCB in place. _________________

Received my boards today!  Look real good    
 
 
Quick question....what brand/model trim pots did you use? _________________ Dave

Boards are here    
 
 
As usual, thanks a bunch for outstanding projects, Matthias!
 
 
EDIT: I'm soldering components ATM in an attempt not to accumulate any more backlog. Is it correct that there is no D2 on the board? Obviously, function is not impaired, so should I piggyback it onto R44 or just leave it out of the circuit? |

D2 is not needed. trigger out works fine without it. _________________

stumbled across this yesterday, looking for components for a new proper synth - seems like the perfect lfo for me. thanks a lot for this brilliant work and offer! 
 
 
 
so here's my first post    
 
 
i'd like two circuit pcb's

How did I miss this? If there is a slim chance of any main boards left, I'd be very interested in a couple... _________________ LektroiD |

I'd been away for a few days and found the boards waiting on my return. Really good looking boards; lovely work, (as always!).
 
 
Thanks again. Fonik. _________________ Mike |

you did not miss anything, actually. for the current small re-run i ordered a few spares (as always).
 
 
so what do you need/want? i offer 3 aprts this time:
 
the actual circuit board,
 
an eurorack front panel components PCB, and
 
an eurorack front panel (printed). _________________

I would like 2 main PCBs. If it's not too much trouble, would it be possible to wait for the 555 VCOs and combine shipping? _________________ LektroiD |

If there still are spares, I would like:
 
 
1 actual circuit board 
 
1 eurorack front panel components PCB
 
1 eurorack front panel (printed) |

wow, that looks awesome! but it quite a lot of work, isn't it? how many panels had you to make until you got this nice result? _________________

the new PCBs came in today! however, i am still waiting for the front panels.
 
 
so:
 
i will now start to contact all who placed pre-orders for PCBs only, providing payment info's.
 
 
i will combine shipping and packaging for all who placed orders for both the VCO and the LFO. 
 
 
please be aware, i am currently selling 4 different PCBs + front panels. there are quite a few orders to fullfill. i hope you are patient with me. it might take a while until i contact you, and packaging and mailing will take a little bit longer than usual, i guess. _________________

Actually, that was the first try; I lost some detail on the finer lines, and I'll try some wider ones.
 
 
It's really not too much work; it's kind of a decal version of Press 'n Peel Blue.
 
 
You print the design on the decal paper, laminate it to the white material, peel the white material off, clean off the excess (that's where I'm removing too much material), laminate a clear carrier material onto it,  soak the paper off, spray on the glue, and then stick it to the panel.  Start to finish, the first one took maybe 20 minutes.
 
 
If I can keep from losing bits of the design, it should be a good process. |

Hi fonik
 
I can see on picture that also here you are using 50k trimmers instead of 25k (similar as you propose for VCO-555).
 
So I assume that it could work also on 15V.
 
I have also some spare 47k, can I use them also as replacement for these 25k? |

of course you can. you could even use 100k. it is wired as a variable resistor, not as a voltage divider. the problem is that you will have less of usable range. when trimming (not a big issue with 25-turn precision trimmers). _________________

I can't seem to source the 2n5461, anyone know of an equivalent (would J112 work?). If not, has someone got one I could buy? _________________ LektroiD |
