I think those are RN55

Hi Peter,

where do you get those washers, are they from mcmaster ?

Peter Daniel · 10:54 PM

Those are commonly used in aircraft industry, I'm not familiar with any retailer that sells them. If mcmaster don't have them, I don't know who else would.

Hi Peter,
I have another question, what is the value of the resistor on the display board.

What is the CD holder made of? What actions are necessary to put on and take off the CD? Is it modified from the original?

You mean the clamp? It's taken out of the boombox.

It works exactly same way as analog turntable: lift the (magnetic) clamp, change the disc, put the clamp back on.

Setting a new book mark here... Great summary report Peter! MUCH easier than the three-day epic I went through for the first one!

Thanks!

Is it safe to leave those msr860 floating around in there? The backs of them are connected to the output pin. Did you insulate them?

The don't touch anything, so I don't insulate them.
