looking for parts

2004-08-04 by Chris Walcott

Hey all, I'm in the depths of building the miniwave conversion with the
expansion board and I'm looking for a few parts.

I'm looking for a source for pot and jack flat and lock washers.
Mouser has the nuts but not the washers.

I'm also trying to figure out what kind of LED to order. The kit comes
with 8 green LED's and I wanted to change 4 of them to red. Does
anyone (Larry?) know what the mouser part number for that is?

Thanks!

The lock washers are hard to find. I gave up looking and bought a
bunch from Paul S. Flat washers (to go between the front of the panel
and the nut) can be found at hardware stores like Home Depot. They
call them "spacers", not "washers". Spacers are thin, washers are
thick, I don't know why.

I've got part numbers for numerous T1 size LEDs in my Veeblefetzer user guide:

what you seek is in there.

For jacks, I use a larger washer available from Mouser. These are NOT good
for pots. Mouser part # 481-0680. These are no different than what you can
get at a hardware store. But, I buy a bag of 100 for $5.60 I think.

For pots, someone here on the list bought some a while back and I got in on
that deal. They are like the ones Paul gets. I have no idea of the source.
Paul can tell you. They are not cheap. However, I only use these on the
pots that do not go through the brackets. I have found that the natural
tension between the bracket and the front panel is all you need on those
pots. Yes, it takes a little more care when tightening. But, I have never
had one turn or come loose even without lock washers when the pot passes
through one of my bracket holes.

I recommend changing all 8 of them. Most of the LEDs have a bigger lip on
the bottom that the ones that come with the Blacet kit. It is easier to
short the ones that come with the Blacet kits agains the metal panel since
it is thicker than the normal Blacet panel. All you need to get is any 3mm
LED. Personally, I prefer the ones that are specifically called diffused.
I did not get mine from Mouser I got mine from one of the surplus mags. I
see them for sale usually between $2 and $8 for a bag of 100 all the time.
At least the green, red, and yellow. I think I paid about $2 each for them
dang blues ones in my expanded PROM CV control Miniwave.

Reichelt have the NE5517. Newark (and hence Farnell) have the
THAT340. Careful if you order through Farnell, there may be an
additional 25 EUR charge for items from Newark.
