Cool. Thanks for the replies.

Actually I think I must have had a little brain fart on this one. I guess I'd really only be switching the signal off the plate, and not the B+ over the R. Is that right? If so, I could use a tiny switch.

I'm having trouble figuring out a good component rating for split-load (aka Fast/Gradual) switch. Since we're dealing with the B+ here, I figure you don't want use any old switch. Can anyone make a recommendation here? Thanks.

I'm really glad I stumbled across this thread...I had the exact same idea to use all Kiwame's (where possible) and yellow poly coupling caps on a black turret board for my next build. Sort of a chartreuse/black thing. Now I know how good it can look! Hope it sounds just as sweet as it looks...eagerl...

Thanks. The problem was with my email server blocking his response...I think it might have been trying to block "sluts" and "trannies." My mail hosting is pretty tough.

Anyway just to let everyone know, he had tried to contact me a few times.

Hey thanks, BBQLS1. I sent the email through my dedicated tim @ tim'swebsite.com address, so it shouldn't have landed in a spam folder.

I would really appreciate it if you could get a hold of him...I have a project I'm ready to get rolling on.

I know this is a very old thread, but I can't seem to get a response from Moose. I emailed through the Toneslut website and sent a PM. Does anyone know if he's still supplying transformers, and if there's some other way to contact him? It's been a week since my first email.

Glen, that was killer. When you pulled those synth-sounds out toward the end of the piece I couldn't believe that was done without effects at first.

According to Mercury Magnetics, it's their "Radiospares" clone that is used on the Beano album. Model#O45RS-L, 6k6 primary.
