Greater Toronto Area DIY meetup

[jtktam]

I proposed to meet every other Saturday afternoon to meet, greet and swap parts and advice.

Let's start with

May 26, 2012
Tim Horton's @ Sheppard ave, east of 404 exit
let's say 2pm or so?

-joe

 

[jtktam]

Any interest on this?

by that time I should have the odac in my hands and I will bring alone a laptop and various amps you guys can try out

-joe

Ok, I can make this event. I'm not sure what I'll bring.

I've got a dcb1 buffer for sale... If anyone is interested in purchasing it, I'll bring it.

 

[Jaimo]

Count me in!

Is the Google Doc shreadsheet still in use?

 

[Jaimo]

Okay here's the Google Docs link

I will probably show up after 2:30pm due to prior engagement. This time around, I do not have anything to bring to this meet. However, I am looking for two 330 pf (50 V or higher) caps for the amp that I am building (bought 2 kits and these caps were missing). Not worth to order them since these are so cheap - the shipping charge incurred will cost way more. Will pay cash for them.

Regards,

Lo_tse

get me a part # or picture, I am sure in my thousands of caps I have a few for you

Okay found this thread!

Sorry about that.

So 26th May sounds good.

I could bring some input transformers from the 60s,
also if you want to name some tubes I can check my stock
I can bring some caps too.
maybe a guitar pedal, guitar parts (strat),
how about books?
guitar speakers?
rubber speaker surrounds for repair...
I'll scrounge around some more.
let me know what you'd like to look at


please remind me closer to date also, so I keep it in my head

Hi, Joe

I tried to get a part number from the Digikey's site but cannot find any (non SMD kind). I am just looking for those "run of the mill" ceramic disc little caps. Those sivler mica/other exotic types are too expensive for my purpose. Thanks!

Regards,

Lo_tse

Just wondering...how many folks can we expect to see at Tim's tomorrow?

Check the spreadsheet. Looks like 3 so far... hopefully more. I'll be there.

 

[jtktam]

It was a good meetup.. i apologize for picking the location without wall power 🙁

next time we will go to starbucks where we can try out the amps

-joe

 

[merlin2069er]

Hey, no problem.

Can you give me the dimensions on those 2 cases?

I might be able to fit a dcb1 buffer in them.

Thx.

 

[Lo_Tse]

Hey,

It was great to meet you guys. Jaimo and Joe, thank you for the caps. I have to admit that it was the first time that I saw caps of that huge size that Jaimo brought. It was an "eye-opener".

Anyway, looking forward to meet you folks again some time soon.

Regards,

Allan

 

[jtktam]

i will try to measure them this week

-joe

 

[Jaimo]

Thanks for taking the time to meet at Tim's. - all of you guys are very knowledgeable and great DIY'ers.

I look forward to the next meet!

 

[jtktam]

How about the next meet at June 9, 2012

Maybe somewhere west or central? a starbucks would be good to provide power

-joe

 

[Lo_Tse]

Joe,

May be some places near Hwy 400 and 7? Or somewhere close to the 427? Easy to access.

At this point in time, I am not sure whether I can attend. Will keep you posted.

Regards,

Lo_tse
