A friend gave me this Sharp GF 4646 radio, which he said he bought 1983 year. It's pretty well made, and not so easy to take apart. Am I going to find any op-amps or transistors I could take from it and re-use?
Are these 80s radios made with SMD?

I have a GGG Neutron (Mutron III work-alike) pcb and a printout of build instructions. I'd like to trade for a Bad Stone pcb.

Does anyone know where to find these at a fair price besides Mouser? Found this , but I'm scared.

Does anyone know where can I find pots like the ones in the Tech21 Character series (i.e. long pin and NO tab that needs snapping off)? The pots I'm looking for are clearly shown in the first figure of this post .

Also, does any one know of who makes pots without tabs?

Thanks a lot.

I bought about 200 2N5952 transistors, built a GEOFEX FET matcher and tested each and every one of them... I came out with 37 sets of 4, and I only need a few sets so I'm selling the rest.

I decided to price them out based on how good of a match the set of 4 is. I make no claims either way as to the mojo-merit of using FETs matched to .003 vs .01! I just want to offer up what I have in hopes of saving people time and satisfying the desire that many of us have for their creations to be as good...

Does anyone know of a source for the jacks used in Danelectro or Snarlin Dogs pedals?

They're a low profile PCB mount jack in a plastic housing. I've looked through Small Bear and Mouser and tried the wonderful Search feature on the archives and have done several google searches. Seems like these shouldn't be so difficult to find. What am I missing?

I managed to repair the input jack for a Danelectro by stealing the output jack from a dead Snarlin Dogs Wah pedal. For some reason the Snarlin...

Anyone interested in 34 Japanese Ge transistors? They were pulled from reel to reel recorders. The Toshiba have long leads(Approx 1 ) but the Hitachis will probably need to be used with sockets because the lead are less than 1/2 inch.

I think about 40 shipped is fair, if not please let me know. I am also willing to trade.

Toshiba

4 X 2SB486

1 X 2SB94

5 x 2SB189

2 X 2SB257

2 X2SA449

1 X2SB440

1 X 2SB415

Hitachi

13 x 2SB75

4 X 2SB443

I tested a few of them (4 or 5 of the 2SB75)...

Single sided about 3.5 x 3.5 or so.

I'm in the UK, but don't mind paying for shipping from the US.

Anybody have one in a junk pile or the effect is just dead? I know New Sensor doesn't carry these, and i thought i'd ask before i go looking for another monstrosity like a key box or bigger Hammond stuff.

This type of enclosure will do nicely for an upcoming re-house, where i will actually need all of the available space. Three knob would be perfect (eg. stereo memory man), but its not a must have.

What you got?

Hey,
I'm building a Fuzz Factory clone and wanted to buy some AC128's and a less valuable equivalent. I'm fairly new to this so I wanted to build the pedal with less valuable transistors and then when everything is 100% just swap them out for the AC128's.

What should I be looking for as an equivalent? Where can I source them and some AC128's?

Hi,
I've done a quick analysis on the cost of a few common DIY pedals. Specifically a complete Fuzz Face. This includes a complete build, graphics, and shipping of the parts.

I've come up with about $50 total. Depending on the what you use for a board this could vary....i included $10, which should easily cover Terminal, Vero, perf, or some pre-made PCB. This was all sourced through Mammoth.

Does this seem right to everyone? I think it's a bit high myself. Anyone else have some input? I...

You know the little switches that some wah's have on the side that you can push in for boost or to change inductors?

any source for those types of switches? any experience with their reliability?

I was thinking about putting a phase 45 in a wah that can be switched on and off basically by tapping the side switch.

I have a Stromberg Carlson AM tube radio from 1947 with a non working phonograph. Is it worth opening up for parts or is the mojo too old? The model is 1110 and the am part works fine.

Due to an error of a company I was buying replacement parts for my Fender HRD from, I have 2 snap-in potentiometers that belong on a Fender Blues Jr. 250k audio taper pots. Black plastic D-style shafts. Can probably easily be used as pots for other projects, but these are PCB mount with no washer/nut retention system. Like the picture below.

I am really not interested in what they're worth so I'm just selling for $1 each plus whatever shipping might be for a padded envelope . I am more than...

Looking to trade it for some parts.

Looking for old Mustard caps, Tropical fish caps, Phillips/Vishay electrolytics,
Ge Transistors, Enclosures, What ya got?

A lot of the parts on it could be salvaged for a new/vintage spec build using a new Bad Stone PCB

Here's some pics (the rest are posted in this thread):

We use Greenies. Why? They are inexpensive, readily available, and sound good.

The truth be told, most of the AVX metal films are the same price or cheaper than the Xicons from Mouser, unless you're ordering in quantities of 500 units or more.

And for a lot of R/C networks where it would take an odd resistor to get the shelf or curve right, the goofy in between cap values can simplify things a bunch.

But my fave thing about the box caps is that I can populate a board in a fraction of the...

80 x 47µF electrolytic capacitors for sale, same type used in the DAM pedals. 40V rated and measuring 18mm x 6mm.
I've cut them off the bandolier to get rid of the sticky ends, so they're around 1cm shorter each end, but still plenty of length even for a tag or turret board build.

15p each + postage

I have 3 AMS26 mic's here that are no use to me as I have never owned and ams mixer. I brought them cheap at cash converters not knowing at the time what they were. I don't want much for them, just a clean swap for some transistors or something. Make me and offer if you are interested. But please keep in mind they only work with an AMS mixer.

preferably the brushed aluminum just like them....are these all custom made? i've been all over the net trying to find them. I wanna do a red llama clone and the aqua puss project. I want them to look similar.

Hi,

I've to change the NE571 of my Guyatone tube echo ADX (analog version) , I saw banzai sells their really high (6euros) compared to what we can find on ebay (+/- 2euros). why ?

I'd like to have your opinion about that, the ones sell on ebay are brand new or took from electronics parts ? (no doubts that banzai sells brand new )

(I read a post of Dirk hendrik about how you can destroy that chips with static electricity (like BS170 are) and i'd like to avoid buying a dead chip)

happy new...

here is a little something I thought I'd share with you guys. if you are looking for small electronics tools like flush cutters, needle nose pliers, rounded needle nose for bending leads, etc., and you don't have a specialized electronics store (we dont even have one in chicago), there is a better place than home depot or the local hardware store. if you have a large arts and crafts outlet like JoAnn Fabrics or Hobby Lobby, check out the jewelry and beading section. they usually have a large...
