That's not good news. Seemed like Switchcraft stuff was one of those rare constants in the universe.

Just looked quickly, the mil-spec open frame version is the C12BX, $5.40 in quantities of 10 from Mouser. Not enough to break the bank but they don't give'em away.

NICE!

Any sound clips yet ?

I've got a Hoffman version of that in the works; board's done, transformers just arrived & its also going in a tweed-style chassis w/2-12 cab.

Got to do all the chassis holes/drilling next.

Looking forward to getting it going, glad to hear you like yours.

Not sure if you really want to design for bass response for guitar cabinets but WinISD is a free cabinet design program that will give you response curves & porting dimensions for various drivers. You can also specify cabinet dimensions if you are using an existing cab. There is a pretty large numbe...

These are designs for the original EV TL cabs from the early 80's, for the 18 there are two: TL405 13cuft http://archives.telex.com/archives/EV/Builders%20Plans/TL405%20Builers%20Plans.pdf TL505 7cuft http://archives.telex.com/archives/EV/Builders%20Plans/TL505%20Builders%20Plans.pdf I built several...

I have a Hoffman AB673 about half built that is basically the same as the 6G16 minus the tapped treble & with a few value changes, so I'm interested to hear your thoughts.

Not sure if you are aware that the angled Fender chassis are not one piece, the ends are separate parts. While I don't have alot of experience making chassis, I do have a brake & I have found to get a 90d angle you have to over-bend slightly. This is where things start to interfere with each other o...

I did this same search a few months back as all I had ever used was a variety of cheap 25W pencils. Scoured the web, read lots of reviews, etc., ended up buying a Hakko FX-888. I have about half a AB763 project assembled with the new set-up & it's great. Wish I had bought a decent station years ago

That is a nice set-up. There seems to have been a bunch of parallel input posts/queries lately. I've been thinking trying a small SE amp as a first semi-original build & the parallel front end seems like a cool feature. Do you like the sound? From my surfing, most who've done it describe it as "fatt...
