Yet another resistance decade box

[bitseeker]

Wow! That is a very nice enclosure, indeed.

Nice! My filthy resistor decade clickers are still bare, but I did make sure the low ohms had at least 500mW resistors, then scaled back to regular 250mW and at the higher ranges.

Even then, clicking the low range is fun to see on a meter, but totally useless in most real world applications. I would not substitute my resistor box for a low ohm shunt resistor for example.

Really nice enclosure

Really nice enclosure 

Thank you. I really like this enclosure, but what is pity Chinese seller don't have this anymore 
I had plan to make capacitance and inductance decade in the same form factor, but now its gone.

Digi-Key has something similar.
Look for console box

Thank you. I know there is lot of similar enclosures but nothing that similar and of course much expensive. My one cost me less than 10$.
I regret that I didn't buy more of those. I have one more but little longer.

Hi,

Is it possible to order PCB?

Thank

I have not read the whole thread (18 pages!)

There is this one

Sorry, they're all sold out.
The gerbers are available here if you want to order your own.

I bought some switches and PCBs, and things seem to go together well.

One minor issue that came up is that the manufacturer of the switches melted some plastic pins over the original PCB in order to retain it, and when the old pcb is removed this plastic breaks off. This isn't a big deal since the new PCB still goes in, but it's also not great since it's not as positively affixed as possible.

I've been doing some research on the switches and PCB fabrication, and it looks like the switch manufacturer is Wenzhou Wanda Electronics Co., Ltd. This particular product is the KA-3, and there's drawings on the website. I've been trying to get in contact with them to see if they might be willing to do a special production run.

I'm not sure why the switches I got are unbranded. Maybe there's multiple manufacturers?

I also came across a couple more posts on this forum about these switches:
