But, if you do ever end up with wrong lead spacing, the Flat Nose Pliers (from your mandatory Mini Pliers Set) are your friend for easy adjustment.

A whole lot of sanding! Work my way up to a 3000 grit wet sand for a mirror-y finish. It’s mainly just for practical reasons. To get the toner transfer to stick better, for etching. There’s a little run-down of my process at the bottom of this thread...

I just install my stomps lugs-up, so the unsightly notch is hidden inside the enclosure!

Thanks very much! :) In real life, I am but a lowly electrician ;) Just like to doodle, and solder, in my spare time.

Had these two Aion boards sitting around for quite a while. Finally wrapped them up. This the Ceres (aka Catalinbread Sabbra): Rangemaster + plus Laney Supergroup ‘ampinabox’. Features the Northern Harrier, an excellent bird of prey, found throughout North America. If you see something...

Looks excellent! But why is “guac” tomato red and not avocado green? 🤔

Jinx! ;)

Only place I can find not currently listing them as “out of stock” is Aion: https://aionfx.com/component/v3207d/ $5.35/ea.

Small 1/4W and 1/6W are good suggestions. But Mouser does have plenty of actual 1/8W the last I looked…🤔

I’d flip it sideways so the toggle points at whichever one is first.

I’d pay good money to watch some brave soul try to whittle a diode leg! Pretty sure you can make a tourniquet out of 24awg…. ;)

You could probably gently ream out the hole a little bit without taking all of the plating off. I use an x-acto knife or one leg of some pointy tweezers for tasks like this.

Except in this case, if you read up on Sakevi Yokoyama (the singer), you realize that there’s a better than average chance he’s an actual demon 😈

I think “slew rate” is the general term for how quickly (or not) an electrical thingie (or “chingalera” to use the technical term ;) ) changes state. Not sure if there’s another more LDR-specific term…🤷‍♀️

Is the volume any different depending where the Tone switch is set? Because it looks like one position of the toggle would be bypassing the whole section where your circles are.
