34-step attenuators for sell - Page 2

TB · 17th April 2012, 03:07 PM

When I last checked Shallco open frame switches ( ones which you can see in some Hi End systems are around $200 each ) they were much more expensive. Also, 34-position switches are not as common as 24-step ones. Economy during the time I bought them was much better. They did not want to sell just two pots. They wanted to sell everything as soon as possible in bulk. Back then I had in mind many projects and they look like very good option. I am not happy to sell them, but I have no choice.

Hi TB,

As I see in the pictures, it seems that this is mono attenuator, is it correct?

Hello ncc,
Yes it is correct. The attenuator is single gang.

The Tech Labs switches and pots are every bit as good as Daven. The contacts are solid silver and the wipers are also silver. The "wire" in the lowest positions reflect the very low resistance needed on the last steps.

I have built attenuators with Tech Labs switches using Vishay foil resistors and they have worked exceptionally well for 25 years.
