[sdiy] short intro, newbie midi jack question

[m.j.kulengosky]

hello,

just joined this list though i've been on analogue heaven for a while now.

not too heavily into building (yet). have only put together a few projects 
(PAIA theremax, and a mic pre) but, i've been a gear collector for about 8+ 
years.

also 'attempted' an x0xb0x kit; i guess that was a failure as it's now in 
the hands of paul schreiber who volunteered to diagnose whatever issues i'm 
having. anyone else here with x0xb0x diagnostic experience?

anyway, another question i had (and excuse me if this is really dumb of me) 
but, i'm looking for panel mount din sockets. radio shack used to sell them 
which even included the mounting screws but, i wasn't able to find them on 
their site (sadly)... my confusion when browsing the mouser catalog is: do i 
need 5 pin 180 degrees of arc? my assumption would be that this is the 
connector i'm looking for.

thanks in advance.

apologies in advance.

all the best,
matthew
