I finally found the long heatsinks to use. The black one will be cut to lenght and adapted to fit the Shunty (It is from a NAD receiver). It was bought on ebay long time ago and I was always wondering where to use it. The silver one will be adapted for the Pumpkin (It is from an old (huge) line printer supply). They should do the job 😎

Dviswa, Sylvain :
This is a TKD pot.
http://www.tkd-corp.com/02_products/p_06rotary_f.html
I've ordered mine directly at TKD in Japan (mail).
But, I think there must be some Us-resellers for TKD-products.
There is a german one too :

(Somewhat expensive. THEL claims they were custom-made (different log curve: "speziellen Audiokurve" 🙂, etc.), Though. Is it worth it? Don't know).

Thats about the usual price-setting here in EU. Consider this: If a US retailshop buys from a US factory, the price is multiplied by a factor of 2. If an EU importer buys from the same factory, the price is multiplied by 2. The catch is; that the shop/retail in EU, selling the stuff to you, multiplies the price once again with at least 2!!!!! Get it? Thats why I do a lot of overseas shopping.....😉 Hoping that the Custom's doesnt get hold of the package😉 Usually they dont; they must be on a coffeebreak all the time.

Oh, and thanks a lot to the latecommers🙂

Thx Steen,
But you forget in case of Thel.de the "spezialanfertigung" for aliens audiophile in need of special-Audiokurve-log-pot to please their ear.
Chocky are you OK?

Not ungrateful, but:
No prob's on my account, but I am afraid that some of my guys would be bombed with request's if project is published😀
I might sneak in a piccy, Not shure though.....???
You've had some hefty hints allready, knowing that Magura had a finger in there:::::: You allready know that some sort of handwound inductor is involved, that should be no surprise????? They even smells good😀 Choke loaded preamp, anyone???
🙂
Oh, and thanks a lot to the latecommers, regarding my 50th birthday😎

Forget it, I wont publish anything.......Sad enough, this would be an even greater thing than the Pumpkin😉 Let the publishers publish the project, I am surely not gonna do it😀 What I can tell you, is that the guys did notice my favourite transistor!!! Namely the Toshiba 2SK369's....he-he Try and get your hands on some of those.... Inductors/2SK369's he-he..... start to compute
