I got these NIchicon 4.7 35v super compact EC's from EG they're almost smaller than the tantalums (which are 4.7 also)

Nice! I think I had those in a cart, but it's probably too late now. I keep forgetting to check out before the deadline.
I had to start re-labeling their baggies with actual PNs instead of their stock #.

I got plenty if you need some, and relabeling is what I'm doing now

You are a very kind soul. I checked and they were still the same price so before they noticed I grabbed some.

I was going to finish out the bits on The Parentheses and had to decide on the jackage <---highly technical term.

I had just been reading THIS thread about the INs and OUTs of Jacks® , so I'm cross-linking them. I decided to go with closed jacks for 3 reasons;

1. The Parentheses has an atypical IN/OUT pad placement.
2. I was out of open Baby Lumbergs...I've remedied that
3. The open Switchcraft would have worked perfectly. One up - one down but I was feeling fairly symmetrical this morning so I went with the.....sorry had to go back and read what I chose...the closed jacks. Why? I'm gonna tell you, just keep reading....sheeesh!

The closed jacks offer a mod. Yes, you can modjack and didn't even know it!

Here's the unhappy couple now....no symmetry, no zen.

But wait, what's this? A set of groovy-grooves, right where I need them! Groovy!

I'll use my center punch to pop the dentent/tab that corresponds to the TIP.

Then just reset the tab with a small plier and slide it into it's new slot! Man I like easy!
Now there is a happy couple!

Thanks for reading!

Thanks -- I just drew a blank that EG was Electronic Goldmine.

"Go Nichicon or explode resulting in noise along the signal path"
