I need to clean my place. I am sure we all get that urge from time to time. Honestly, I accumulated too much stuff and instead throwing it away, I will post it here and see if there is interest. Most for free, some for sale, to recover some material purchased.
All I ask if you pay shipping, small flat rate box is ~$11, medium is $17 and large is $23. I will just estimate if it fits.


Update: all attenuators are spoken for.
B1 is spoken for.
Realistic headphones are spoken for.


Now we have second round for Shure riaa.
Added metal hole punching tool for you tube guys and small balancing transformers.
Added thick 12 gauge speaker wires.

JLH ClassA amp and lm1875 boards are gone.

We have two headphones here, one in the ear talent, new, never used. With plenty of spare sponges and carrying case.
Second is radio shack / realistic lv-20. Older but in good shape, even the foam. They likely were made by koss.
Both fit in medium flat rate box.

Here we have stepping attenuators. Six of them, each stereo. They from some industrial equipment, and ca easily be used as volume control. They have high quality resistors, goes like 16 ohm, 32 ohm, 64 ohm...all the way to megaohm. Intead of having such big impedance for volume pot, i wired them as shown in second picture, input impedance 10k and up. Since you never go max volume, it works great. Should fit into medium flat rate box.
Oh, they need some force to switch, better put bigger knob on it.

Here we have two onkyo cassette deck mechanics, complete for playbeck and recording, with all the electronics on board, except power supply. I do not have schematics.
These are from casseiver, onkyo made just one type cx-70. Both mechanics worked when pulled out of casseiver. One has broken record button, but it still operates. This one just got counter belt broken too, but its extremely easy to replace. Its a project.
They are heavy and should fit both in large flat rate box.

Here is nice B1 buffer. Original board and original toshiba jfers directly from pass labs. Its not as professional as pass products, but it works great. Quiet and low distortion. External power supply, one input, one output. It needs large flat rate box for shipping.
To recover the board with jfets and box, make an offer. I do not use it anymore since i use mostly active crossovers, and they serve as master volume.
