Great!  :-+
I was wondering when people would start receiving them.

I also received the boards today. It was a very fast delivery.

Let's wait for the switches now...

Thank you Fortran
Best regards,

What a nice pot

https://world.taobao.com/item/41776086860.htm?spm=a312a.7700714.0.0.mrlItc#detail

At first look I they appear as ten turn pots, but are single turn with a glorified plastic dial.  Screw terminals.   In eBay/AliXpress are advertised as pots for motor control.   Not a good replacement for a decade box, but they may look good in some project.  For my hobby use I think it would be a pain drilling the 22mm hole.

Mine arrived yesterday. They look great, unfortunately I won't get to put them together until next week.

Great!  :-+

When putting them together it takes some force.
I found that pressing down firmly with a flathead screwdriver right next to the pins/studs works pretty good.
It should snap in place.

Came today in the mail.   They look very nice.   Waiting for the switches but I will not be able to get to them for weeks.

Nice job Fortran  :-+

I recall that above in the thread, there was some dialog about possibly designing a box for the switches.   Did it get to anything concrete ?

Paid for 2x 0.1 kits.

And just now read the post, that you're waiting to see if there's demand before for placing more orders.

I'm happy to wait, and no need to reverse the transaction (unless you're positively sure that there will not be another order).

Cheers,

I'm quite sure there will be another order of resistors, since most of the 0.1% are pre-booked already.  :)
I'll also be ordering another 50 sets of 1%.


However, the ones I ordered last is out of stock and replacements are slightly more expensive so I'm refunding you until I have the updated price.
Shouldn't differ much, but makes it a bit easier for me to handle.

So stay tuned for updates  :)

Yeah..   I'm probably gonna need to buy more then 10 sets this time.  :)
I'll see how many I can afford to get.

So please everyone who still wants a 0.1% kit..  do tell.
1% isn't an issue since they are cheap, but 0.1% really digs deep in my pockets.

Yes yours have already been counted.
I'm referring to the ones that hasn't posted in the thread or sent me a PM :)

There might not be another order after this, depending on how many PCB's are left afterwards.
I haven't counted, but it looks like about half is gone.

I see some US flags reporting receipt now. I guess mine will be showing up in the next few days.

I am in a small town in central Minnesota and received then yesterday.   I gather you are in the West coast.   You should get them on Monday.
