Oh no!
Well, same offer to you. If you need me to post them to you, I am happy to act as a middle man.

Hi all,
Couple of bits.
Firstly, If anyone requires assistance in getting the BF862, let me know. I am happy to source them and can provide the exact one i used in my own Bigbottle phonostage.
Secondly, The boards have been posted to me and should be here in a few days!
If anyone wants the BF862 posted with their boards, let me know and we will sort out the financial details.

UPDATE:
The troublesome BF862 is now no longer troublesome!
The BF861C can be used as a very close alternative. I will amend the BOM to reflect this going forward.
If anyone does want an original BF862, Let me know. I have some available to me.

That is great news Oliver, thank you. I can get a batch of 10 (minimum order qty) from RS Components for 4 Britsh Pound delivered. Needless to say a few other components will also be added. I can at least start on the resistors, FETs, diodes etc.

Thanks for highlighting it as a possible replacement. It's specs are very close to that of the 862 so that's a great find.
Also, far cheaper than I can get the 862 for. I'm paying £2each for legitimate ones.
Ok, boards arrived, have been checked and are now back in the postal service on their way to you.
Thanks to all who've purchased one.
I did over order on these So have a few left over if anyone else is interested.

To answer a couple of messages:
PCB £30 +
UK post £10
EU post £15
International post £20
Estimated total build cost = £300-350 approximately, depending on casework etc
BOM and build guide is on this thread.
I have 8 boards left over now. 2 on hold pending payment.

Hi all,
The BOM has received a couple of updates.
R161 was in twice. It has been amended due to the typo (my bad!)
B861C has been included to replace the now discontinued BF862
All other values and part number remain unchanged.

Received a small envelope yesterday with the needed BF862 from a very generous Danish forum member 🙂
Thanks a million for these.
Now we only need the PCB´s 😀

Hi BB... Was just wondering.... And thanks for the update 🙂
Since we don´t have the schematics....
We have 2 x 7DJ8/pcc88. Could you tell if the ECC83 is wired 6.3volt or 12.6volt for the filament??
Just that I have a bunch of 6N2P-EV lying around, so these would be nice to use, if wired 6.3volts 🙂

Hi Si,
Thanks!
Unfortunately, it won't be ready. I broke my wrist, thumb and collarbone in a motorbike accident Tuesday so I can't build it at the minute.
I'll try and get to the next one.
Hey Bigman.
I believe you have the gain set to 68db for MC cartridges.
Is it possible to reduce the gain to 40db by making some resistor value changes?
Cheers

Are you thinking of using the PCB for MM?
I assume it's possible, I'm just not sure how. I can ask the question
