Title: Help on my ZKIT1 sockets and chassis Post by Steve Deckert on 10/22/09 at 03:35:34 Quote:
Make sure all the tube pins are straight first and foremost. Then find a resistor or solid wire around the same diameter as the pins on the tube and stick it in each hole to see if it can be inserted the full depth of the pin. It's not uncommon when soldering sockets to have the solder run down inside the pin retainer and basically plug it so that a tube pin will never go in. This is of course if you leave the heat on too long and are soldering point to point. The circuit board makes it really much harder to screw up. The sockets ARE often tight to begin with especially when new, but so long as the pins are straight you should be able to insert the tube fully. Quote:
Presents no technical problems. The only way to correct it is to re-solder the socket. Quote:

Your CNC shop will have plate metal on hand. 1/8th inch aluminum is ideal. Let them supply the plate. Pitfalls? Yes, make sure the case of the volume pot is grounded. |

Title: Re: Help on my ZKIT1 sockets and chassis Post by Alan H on 11/02/09 at 23:07:34 Re aluminium - I got a 3mm sheet cut to size from ebay for very little cash (6 UKP + del) The 25cm sq sheet ended up being a wee bit tight for size. Different grades of aluminium represent how easy to machine it is ... do some research. I have no connection with this seller ...
