Supports for the earth bus bar>

Post by Mark »

https://tubeamparchive.com/viewtopic.ph ... ght=rocket

In the Rocket clone Allyn Meyer built in the above thread, he uses a pots which won't allow the earth bus bar to be soldered to it. It appears that Allyn is using a special washer to mount the earth bus bar slightly above the pots.

I find myself in a similar situation, where do I find these washers?

Thanks for your assistance.
Yours Sincerely

Wow, you're right! I didn't notice that and I was looking at those pics a few days ago. Such a beautiful build. I'd like to know as well. Hopefully Allyn will chime in and tell us.

Yes they work great for PEC, Clarostat, and other pots. I used these on my Liverpool.

Funny thing about that last pic you posted, Mark. I saw that one on Mouser and in the specs it says 75 ohms. :?

I could be wrong but the BNC coaxial connectors seem a bit short, the RF Connectors GROUNDING LUG looks like the ticket though.

I'll order some and see how it goes.

Yes the longer double one works the best just clip one side off. I can't find the single connector yet. :roll:

The last ones I bought I gut from a TAG member.
