700B Attenuator Switch

LEE!!! SCORE... I had been unable to find the 700B attenuator switch but I stumbled across an Ampex part (also made by Clarostat) number of 62-0040 with a BE-20 marking also on it (probably the Clarostat number). All you have to do is add the straight jumper across the 2 pins and it works. Pretty much the same exact dimensions too.

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Seems they used it on the Ampex Reel To Reel I guess.

I'll be damnded!! Where'd ys find em??

I did an eBay search on "Clarostat", went through Thousands of switches, saw this guy's ad, got lucky. I took a chance and ordered them. There were 5 in the pack.

 

[laatsch55]

Does he have any more??

Get em while there HOT

Tired of using the old insulating shoulder washers on your input RCA's???? I ordered some of these from Online Components (http://www.onlinecomponents.com/switchcraft-s1078.html?p=12322537) and these are the correct ones and they fit like a dream. Here is a pic with one in the hole and one on the Switchcraft Jack. They fit the Nice Cardas RCA's I use in my builds too.

The have a bunch in stock but don't wait. I would rather use these than the cheesy colored plastic ones that come with the new jacks. As a matter of fact I use one of these S1078's under the red or white plastic ones so not only do you have great insulation, you can still see red or white for left or right.

Tried to order 50 but on top of that they wanted a 28.50 surcharge....god I hate that, I understand it, but I hate it....

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Oh, forgot about that. I had to order DCP relays too so I didn't have to go through that. Maybe we should do a group grope....

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Yup, $50 minimum. Let me know if you want to get an order together.

 

[laatsch55]

Next time you have an order let me know and put me in for 100.....

You got it Bud, it won't be long.

 

[laatsch55]

No hurry, things pretty slow in the man cave...

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Don't I know it. Same thing last year this time. January picked up though.

 

[laatsch55]

It's not that, just too much day job, get home and don't feel like doin shit...
