Finally, an affordable CD Transport: the Shigaclone story

[jambul]

Hi Ceevee,
can we use the bss119 instead the bss129?

thank you

Hi all

Where do you get the bobken reg pcb ? How much ?

Or some diy here are made hard wiring for the regulator ?

Thank you, best regards

According to the sim 15 ohm leads to 0.017A CCS. Am I right?

It should be 3R.

Is this large enough for two units or should I just use it for one? It seems quite massive compared to the transport mechanism.

The point of copper is to control vibrations, so the size you are describing is definitely not too large.

By the way, the Shiga doesn't have to be mounted in metal. Wood is a very good choice too.

I'm pleased you brought this up.
I'll be starting from scratch on this and wonder if there is a BOM in existence.
I can pick my way through the whole post and make notes of course but I'm sure to miss something.
If anyone with experience of Shiga building has a rough list that would be helpful and I'd be very grateful.

Hi Andrew.

You will find the most of the new stuff reading 10 pages backwards... Give or take a few...

I was thinking of finding a very nice looking metal or synthetic (plastic etc) box and then dropping a copper plate of the correct size into the bottom. Maybe sandwich a rubber or silicone pad between the copper and the bottom of the box, then screw them together.

Hmm, or would it be better to hard mount the plate to the bottom and use screw in spikes to dissipate any vibrations?

I am going to use a Phenolic resin impregnated paper which is hard as nails, completely stable and comes in different thicknesses, in Australia it's called paperock but i am certain it's in other parts of the world under a different name.
The good thing is you can use wood working tools and it is heavy.

Nope....bss129 is available and cheap at Mouser.
