To keep the peanut gallery entertained, I've put the package in the mail for @blackhatboojum tonight!

 

[CheapSuitG]

It is moving quick, I need to start setting stuff aside!

 

[blackhatboojum]

Package received!

Here’s what I’m keeping. A 1590x2 enclosure, a handful of 2N5458s, a fig buster with the face plate, and a spool of solder. Lots of fun stuff in this box but, as I said before, I’m wanting to give more than receive so there’s even more fun stuff piled in from me. Box coming your way next @jessenator . I’ll pm you the tracking once I have it.

 

[jessenator]

This is year is a blitzkrieg!

 

[blackhatboojum]

I dropped the package off this afternoon at ups so, it’s officially on its way to @jessenator

 

[jessenator]

The eagle has landed!

edit:

 

[jessenator]

Okay, I've had a brush with incredible amazingness, but I'm ultimately not worthy of most of the trove, so I have taken some things I need, and have passed on some hopefully worthy additions.



Soon it will be off to @rwl

Holy low profile caps batman!
And a fig buster!

Good haul!

 

[jwin615]

It seems as though we may be accumulating quite a bit. Is anyone opposed to adding the source of materials to some of their stuff? Not saying it's required but if people want to. Some cool stuff floating around again this year. I'd like to know who to appreciate, or publicly drag

 

[jessenator]

addendum:
There will be a strategic delay in sending off to rwl, but not by much.

I’m actually ahead of you on this one. I labeled my bag of goodies in the box and am all for this idea.

 

[leadfoot]

I didn't label but at the end I don't mind saying what I added to the haul.

 

[jessenator]

ALRIGHT! Strategic delay is over. Box is on its way to @rwl !

 

[rwl]

I received the box yesterday and went through it today. Lots of cool stuff! Hopefully sending it along to @PunchySunshine tomorrow.

I kept two MBP PCBs and one Naegele PCB, and 2 BHB PCBs (I'd been jealous of all the cool @blackhatboojum pedals people had been posting, and now I have two boards + some hard-to-find parts for them!), GE transistors and diodes, and a few oddball guitar picks. Also kept some slider caps that perfectly fit my 6-band Eaglizer that's just been sitting there unfinished for a year (anyone know where they came from?), and some oddball knobs I hadn't seen before.

Those Rippel knobs are one of my favorites and work great for 6 knob 125b builds

The package is on its way to @PunchySunshine!

 

[PunchySunshine]

Package received at 1:15pm today and I’ve managed to get it back into the mail by 2pm. Takes me back to the Netflix dvd copy turnaround days.
Wowsers indeed! I’ve kept the 500v cap stash, pick holder and micro nippers. Thanks for doing this! I appreciate being a part of it.

 

[pbrommer]

It has landed. (Cue Jaws theme)

And holy crap, it’s overwhelmingly awesome.

 

[pbrommer]

Finally got through it. Holy butts. I feel like I took more than I should, but there is so much useful stuff in there.

I took the wire, because I literally just ran out and have been salvaging scraps. It looks like 22AWG, so good for tube preamp work. I also added another pcb - Boneyard Hybrid Fuzz Deluxe - 100UF low profile caps, rubber feet, 2N2369 low gain Silicon NpN, and purple knobs.

The generosity of this place knows no bounds. I sent along the remnants of fun I have: hopefully someone can use them. Off it goes!
