Cliff jack grounding washers

I stumbled across this and had to pass it along.

Once out at the website click on the cliff jack phots for close ups of how this works.

I just recently started dealing with those fellows and must say that besides having a neat selection of interesting products, they are a really great bunch of fellows.

That's a nice idea. I used to use those washers with the small eyelet extension with which to solder to. I haven't checked in a while, but they used to be somewhat tricky to get. Nice to know there's an alternative.

Regards!

I have been using this website too.

They do not have a dealer pricing program but I still use them for many parts.

Why don't you just use a switchcraft ? this seems to defeat the only benefit of the cliff jack. The switchcraft are better made, less trouble and easier to work on .

I only use the cliff jacks when I specifically need a non grounded jack.

Billy I use switchcraft jacks myself but many seem to use the cliffs so I'm just passing on the info.

I found it interesting that such a washer is being used just like you

I love dealing with them, every order that I have ever placed was pulled and packaged inside of an hour. I get all my teflon wire, Micalex sockets and balanced PI tubes from them. The Fedex $4.95 shipping that they use is quick too.

I picked up 4 of these washers the other week, just because I thought they were neat.

They also have a Tech on staff that can answer some of your questions that the person that answers the phone may not be able to..Just ask for him.

Just tried them for the first time about a month ago. They actually answered their phone, graciously dealt with my whining and shipped super fast.

I've been buying tubes from them for a couple of years now. Always been prompt and great to deal with.

Novel idea. I like to ground my input jacks together with all 1st stage grounds (filter cap, V1 cathode, etc.) at a single star-ground point on the chassis. This could possibly serve to establish that point..I'd have to consider the wiring of one vs. the other.
