Looking for a particular component or hardware part and you just cannot find it? Got comoonents surplus and want to get rid of it? Post it all here... No sales of working pedals, put these in the 'Seen for sale' section please.
I'm opening up this forum for people who want to get rid of some stuff they bought too much of. If I was hesistant about this initally, it was only because of the problems and altrication that might come from this, rather than this idea of members helping out one another.
Rules & Guidelines
:arrow: Mark your subjects with 'for sale', 'for trade' (or both) and a clear description of the part/component.

I'm looking for recommendations for quality SPDT toggle switches. I have a few Taiway on hand... opinions?
Also wondering about opinions on good quality 4PDT stomp switches, preferably with a soft click but not totally necessary.
Thanks
Hi guys. I am trying to replace an Alpha 9mm D-shaft PCB mount C500k pot on a pedal, anyone knows where can I order one? I have been googling for two days with no luck :(
Q, Does anyone know if these 5 way switches are still available, or still exist? I've searched the www but nothing even close to this design. There is no markings on it that I can see so hopefully someone might know about it's origin.
The switch in picture has a very firm/stiff feel and very hard to accidentally flick to another position.
The common units are mainly CRL and Oak Grigsby but they tend to have a much softer feel, some are even sloppy.
I'd like to find another for my spare...
A guy who runs a component shop in Devon, UK, was selling bags of 400 NOS germaniums,.. some sold for over £600.
If you bought these, or know who bought these, PLEASE check them with a professional transistor tester that can detect internal shorts and bi-polar leakage (not a cheap tester off eBay), as one buyer has reported 41% were duds.
Anyone who did buy these can still talk to ebay (who are currently investigating) via the chat at...
Hello, how are you? I'm looking to buy a Multi-function Tester - TC1 it looks very good, I want to know about germanium transistor leakage, is its accuracy good in this regard?
Note: I don't have the money to buy peak atlas.
I appreciate if anyone has bought it and leave your experience.
🤜🤛
These are all ORIGINAL NEW old stock CTS /MXR pots
Stored since MXR UK closed mid 80's
I hope people find these of use
(I have populated PCB's for pedals , MXR early rack kit PCB's and some MXR drum machine parts - will take a few weeks to sort)
NOTE - Two sets of SAME PART CODE have tested with 2 different values! That info may already be known or of use.
with 'wire tails' were built with about 1 inch solid wire on each connection ready for Commande series I think
I have the option to pick these up but I can find very little on these online. Has anyone ever used them in their builds? Like in. A Rat to replace the IM308?
Hey folks,
I'm wondering if anyone has or if we could put together a list of parts to keep an eye out for at electronics swap meets, yard sales, etc. I work at MIT and occasionally go to the the radio club's swap meets, come across stashes of stuff in cruft piles, etc, but I don't know what I should be looking out for.
I decided to attempt my first guitar pedal, using the GEO Fex pdf of the Austin Treble Blaster:
for their clone take on the Dallas Rangemaster. I'm having a hard time finding a transistor from the ones the pdf mentions that have a gain between 65-100. Also in datasheets it's hard to pin down how the gain is listed, some clarification on this would be nice.
Looking for anything close that would be suitable. Seems the transistor needs a tuning process to get it to a sweet spot for the pedal to...
I am so jazzed about the smoothness of transacting a group buy with the Aqua Puss clone, I was wondering if there would be any interest in having abfackeln host a dc-2 clone group buy!!! I would really love to get one of these going!!! Jfromel, before you chime in with your version of the boards, I wouldn't mind one of those either but if we could raise enough orders and get the boards close to the under 5$ price that we experienced with the aqua puss clones, it would be great for all of us....
Dunno what I need to do to pass this oldie but goodie on to someone who will put it to good use.
I live in Burlington, NC. Yes it works and it is Rack mounted. It is all tube, and pretty big, and has a nice bright trace and built-in delay line so you can see what triggered the trace.
I designed lots of FX with it decades ago, although I just don't do much of that nowdays, I loved getting it for $125 back in the day.
Certainly somebody wants this baby. Makes troubleshooting FX and amps EASY...
Trying to source a replacement rotary selector for my WH1. Looking to order from mouser as I have an account with them and have narrowed my search to this component www.mouser.com/ds/2/96/288-2255.pdf] but struggling with two sections of the part code...
Working through the ordering info I've come to this code with two ? ?... 2-288xca0k??a2
The C refers to the bushing length of the pot and could theoretically be either B C or D.
The A0 refers to the shaft length and could also be A5 and...
More and more FETs are getting EOL and manufacturers are moving from THT to SMD. Nothing new so far.
Although 2N5458 THT are still available they will slowly disapearing from the market. Now the question is what more future proof replacements will be.
I am making a ProCo Rat and thought of replacing the 2N5458 THT with a J310 SMD (MMBFJ310) in the output buffer. It should be a direct replacement on paper. Or not? Any thoughts on that?
Toying with some new pedal build ideas and just wondering if anyone has ever seen a pedal-sized PCB-mount push-button switch which has a 'half-way down' position as well as a full-way down position? Both latching states.
I could be raving mad :D but I'd imagine it working like this
Position 1: Unpressed -> contacts 1 and 2 (or example) shorted
Position 2: Half-pressed -> contacts 3 and 4 (for example) shorted
Position 3: Full-pressed -> contacts 5 and 6 (for example) shorted
Hey all,
I'm looking at maybe building a ValveCaster as my 3rd build. I'm really happy with my last two builds, a SHO and a FF, and keeping with the fuzzstortion theme, i think a valvecaster is a good call. ;)
I've a few questions regarding the tubes, and a few things i'd love to have cleared up.
Firstly, the recommended tube for the ValveCaster is a 12AU7. I know a 12AX7 can be used, and would provide more gain, although it has been reported as being too much. But what about some of the...
Has anybody had any issues with this Ebayer? Reason I ask is I'm trouble shooting a Small Stone build and want to know if anybody has bought fake chips or transistors from them. The SMD CA3080M's that I purchased have no notch or dot for pin 1 rather one side of the IC, (the side with pin 1) is slightly slanted and the other side is not. Listing says its for Intersil/Harris IC's and I'm wondering if this is correct. If anybody has bought from them leave a post and let me/us know how it went,...
