Those are grounding lugs for RF connectors, and come in various sizes, - the BNC chassis versions fits perfectly, and are sold by all regular electronics suppliers like Mouser, Digikey and several others. I've literally used hundreds of those in my 40+ years in trade, and have yet to see them fail. ...

What happende to using these between the pots and chassis???

I actually use a center punch first, to start an outward flare, then the little tool I made, which folds them down...

I just turned a small flaring tool out of a 3/8 bolt, - insert several eyelets, place the board upside down on a piece of steel plate, - some gentle taps with a hammer, - and voila.... For turrets, one needs a correctly sized die to support the turret, but otherwise, the hammer trick works equally w...

That circuit cannot work.. you need a voltage divider to ground to set the gate voltage.... Why resistors in series with the diodes??? If used they must be very low value....

Wilsonart H2O is a waterbased contact glue... there's probably several other brands available in the US.... I've used swedish made Casco for making several styrofoam boxes for insulating electronic instruments..

WEll.... to the OP question.. "Are there any normal guys here?"..... Most likely not....

There have been some few discussions on this topic during the last decade, and I still keep wondering.... The HiFi-world also struggles with similar problems.. :) There's a few things that bothers me.... expectation bias, - people hear differences based on expectation that there will be a difference...

Thanks all, but the chassis is custom made, and I went with the 18013, which is already en route...

I am about to place an order for transformers for a 100W.... I want 4-8-16 ohms output, and Classictone have two possible options, - 2.1 and 2.2k... which one is more correct?

Most of Norway is on IT power network.... both wires are hot, so it just doesn't matter which wire you break for the light bulb.... Not sure about 250W bulb... sounds high... Problem is we can hardly find good old fashioned bulbs anymore...

Several of the OD layouts have PSU resistor wattage way beyond what is necesseary, - e.g. the 270k balancing resistors for the two main cap's are often shown as 5W, but on calculating the dissipation with one cap shorted, one resistor will dissipate appx 1W....
OTOH - better safe than sorry.....

I've been looking around to find a blank pedal box to house 4 switches, but no luck so far..... square and rectangular regular boxes are plentiful, but nothing in the form of a decent looking slant pedal box..... any tips out there???

After 40yrs++ in the trade, and even with modern compact PCs a PC based scope will never compete with a real scope. Modern scopes are very compact. I see people in other fora reporting good experiences with direct China imports for 3-400 USDs. Aves you from hauling it your luggage. You need to look ...

What to look for.... depends if you want a complete unit, or just a plain variac without housing...
