Yet another resistance decade box
Fortran:
The boards have been shipped and should arrive in 1-2 weeks.
And the resistors have been ordered and should arrive in about a week.
So we're getting close :-+
bitseeker:
Thanks for the update. Looking forward to it.
My IET boxes arrived. Unfortunately, they didn't go unmolested during their former lives, so I've got another project for my queue.

Just read this and at 98 posts I am not 100% sure what is going on.
I think this is a project taking some cheap ebay thumbwheel switches, cutting the guts out and gluing in some custom boards someone is making to make a decade box.
If I am right I am also interested in buying some
Maybe helpful to summarize what is going on in the 100th post.
thanks

Unless someone beats me to it, this is only post 99 (reply 98), but here's a quick summary:
You are correct.
And a slightly longer summary:
6x inexpensive thumbwheel switches from China
+ 6x custom make-before-break PCBs
+ 54x 1%, 1/4 Watt SMD resistors
+ 1x enclosure of your wildest dreams

= Fun little six-decade resistor box

54x whew ! What size?
Could a learner solder them? I finished a SMD practice board, cannot remember how many components it was. If 0402 (metric .1mm - smaller than a baby flea), I probably could not do them. If 6332 (metric - 1 cm) probably can :-DD
Just curious - what is the normal way to spec these - metric or imperial ?
thanks
