Breadboard it. Throw a meter on it. RG Keen is the way. TC1 does not do well with germanium stuff. DCA55 is better but still will not catch an unstable transistor. When testing germanium stuff, a snapshot tester is really inadequate for the job. You gotta see how the numbers change over at...

Thanks @jimilee ! For anyone else interested, we are only buying 2399's direct from Princeton/PTC's USA distro. Not sure how the other guys are selling these for significantly less than it costs us to buy direct (bulk? similar regional buy? sketchy source?). Sorry they are expensive from us...

Both virtually the same, just different manufacturers. RC4559P is the Texas Instruments (TI) version. P is their letter for PDIP (thru-hole). RC4559D is TI. D is SOIC (SMT) in a tube. RC4559DR is SOIC on tape and reel. NJM4559D (JRC/Nissinbo) is obsolete. D is their letter for PDIP package...

300° is standard for the guitar pedal industry. Can't speak for other industries. Ends up working nicely for 7 o'clock minimum to 5 o'clock max.

Found the lead on the OEM for this older Mammoth inductor. Getting it re-made. Lead time will be about 10 weeks! Price will probably be closer to $6ea but shouldn't be significantly more than the 2014 price we were using previously.

Both of these look legit. We were getting them direct from TI before they were discontinued and the ones from Mouser you show is how the batches from the past few years have looked. This is fake. BB logo is a dead giveaway. Looks similar to the weird M (for matsushita) on fake...

Final run. Mostly 125B's this time. This batch came out better than the first but about half of them still have a minor dust flake here and there. Selling 'em all as B+ stock again to save ya'll a buck or so per box. stompboxparts.com/enclosures/limited-edition-enclosures-neutron-star-b-stock/...

I could send you an A100k if that works for you?

Very cool, @Cabintech! Excited about this project you're undertaking, a modern 3101 sub is something the community is sorely missing.

I think we have a few more pounds of powder, I'll see about them finishing it out. Probably will be almost exclusively 125B.

Thanks for the love to all who grabbed a few boxes! It is a really cool color, kudos for pushing us to try something a bit different. Looks like the powder team has a few extra pounds so we'll do another run in the next few weeks/month to use that up!

Ready to go, this color looks SWEET! Really hard to take a picture of these. Head on, it's definitely a dark blue, edges and angles make the purple come through. You all have first dibs! Hidden link click here. DISCLOSURE: I'm not fully satisfied and selling them as B+ Stock for 10% off. Due...

I'm going to get moving on this tomorrow, it will probably take 2-3 weeks to get powder and work through Cusack's production cue. Since there's a good amount of interest in this, I'm going to go ahead and get about 80 in our standard variety of enclosures, majority being 125B's. It's a cool...

Ultimately want to stock only the best stuff. The Pro's are nearly indestructible, never had a single person mention a failure (yet, it's bound to happen). The standard ones couldn't hold up to wave soldering but did fine with hand soldering. I can dip one of the Pro's directly into the bed of...

Yup! Identical otherwise. SCPA is 0°C to +70°C SEPA is – 40°C to +85°C You can never be too prepared for those mid-winter outdoor jams. Datasheet.

Big fan of DeWalt 20v line of stuff. Use that at the shop and at home.

On these 1n34a's, the blue band side is the cathode side. That is a wider than normal red band, sorry about the confusion. On any germanium diode, the cathode side has the germanium pellet (the metal ball/disk inside the glass), circled on a few examples below. If you can see the pellet in the...

True! Your 1n270 may measure exactly the same as that double black banded diode, and I think any old ge will get the job done just fine. Honestly, you having another diode that measures close is more useful information than what I have and should be left as is for the project. The box had a...
