Quick update for Europe:
- Shipping info received for almost all participants: click here
- I bought a box of padded envelopes.
- It is not too late to change to tracked & signed service - thanks to our wonderful Santa there will be 8 matched Jfets for each board, it would be shame if they get lost in transit.

I missed out here. Whaaaaa, whaaaa, whaaa 🙁
Patience...
There are boards destined for the store shortly. They will work with the
Fairchild or Toshiba type pinouts. I believe arrangements are also being
made for Nutube availability.
Mr. Pass, you're a prince. I was working on sourcing the JFET's and you had anticipated all of us. Pretty much speechless from your generosity.
I wish you joy in your giving. You've certainly touched a lot of people here.

Thank you so much for the generous gift Papa and wishing you have a fantastic 2019!!! Happy New Year Mr Pass and Happy New Year all of diyAudio!

Indeed, and perhaps it's much more of a gift than he realizes for some of us.
Perhaps a thread specifically for pictures of our B1 Korg builds that result from this generous gift would be a fitting way to show our thanks to Papa.

Good idea.
Not so bad. All matched up.

Wow that was fast! Probably elves or magic (or both) were involved. 🙂
Part of the secret is that Variac gave me a nice lead spreader for the
jfets that somebody (I seem to recall his brother) had made with a 3D
printer. You push the Fet into that first and it puts the leads at .1" for
the test socket.
And I use my HP digital multimeter from 1972, still runs great.
The rest is having some nice music running. In this case, Jazzanova.

after so many years of doing it , he developed so called marching sorting method ;
using just Power of PapaMind , and they're (JFets) marching and falling in proper alignment on the table
You Shall Match Now!

In The Soundhappy tradition.
I learn today Nutube inside connections with his output pins schematic and soldering pads on the pcb.
1A, 2A = 1P, 2P the same thing but two different names A for anode or P for plate.
Picture five is the Korg DHT direct heated twin triode compared to 12AU7| ECC82 indirectly heated twin triode symbols

Matching Jfets with music in the background being amplified by Jfets - certainly good therapy. Are you sure Mr Pass there was not a nice glass of red anywhere to be seen.
I love the use of the 46 year old HP meter - now they were the days when good test equipment was made by the great companies like HP and Tektronix to name two.
