[sdiy] tb3030 Case and 7945 / 7545 chip

[Seb Carr]

Hi all,

my tb3030 is very nearly finished now (awaiting back ordered parts from
maplin). The problem lies in finding a suitable case. Its a single tb3030
and tbDAC so the obvious choice to me seems to be a 1 unit rack, but they
cost £33 from maplin UK, and i'm nearly broke. Any suggestions on sources of
cheaper racks (even if incomplete/ crap/ used/ whatever) or any suggestion
of alternative cases.
(I'm consideing ripping apart by ancient broken video machine: same width as
rack without ears, and exactly 2 units deep, just need to make a front
panel).

Secondly the tbDAC calls for a 7545 or 7945. Maplin used to sell one of
these at £7, but no longer does, and RS online does sell them, but at £12
and £4 postage. Any other (UK based) suppliers that stock them?

Thirdly, the tb3030 requires a 47k dual linear omeg eco pot, but maplin has
discontinued these (no longer listed online). Anyone know of other suplliers
of Omeg Eco 16 pots?
thanks for any help
