Bruno Putzeys Balanced Preamp - Group Buy Part 2

I'm hopeful. I haven't forgotten about you, SB 😉

The regulators arrived yesterday, but I don't have them yet - need to collect from local depot.

I'll update once I have them and start posting out existing paid orders.

I posted a few non-reg orders a few days ago, need to dig out the tracking numbers and inform people 🙂
 
Hi Enrico,
There is a waiting list which you're welcome to join.
Please follow instructions in first post and email me the details.

However, looking at the quantities, there are as many people on the waiting list as there are people who haven't responded to payment, so it's unlikely I'd have any left.
Thanks

On a more serious note, you have to be VERY CAREFUL with the regulators, they look pretty much identical and they are very hard to tell apart.

Looking at them closely, the tiny, slightly blurred silkscreen printing gives the part number. It's easier to identify by the position than the text. The HPR has the "v3" bit aligned to the right of the via on the right hand side. The HNR's text is lower.

The SOT223 2907A PNP transistor is also on a different side of the PCB.

With the HPR on the right of the photo, the 2907A PNP is on the left, and it's the other way around with the HNR:

So please be extra special careful and check before soldering to make sure you have them the right way around 🙂

edit: Glad I invested in a good macro lens. These things are tiny! 😀

TFBoy reason I'm asking is that I'll be in Europe (Spain) beginning of May for my vacations, with limited email access, and I don't want to miss the call for payment again 😉

Hi Algar,

If you're not around, I can make the payment for you and you can come pick it up at my place when you're back. I'm on the island too and i work in St-Laurent so it wouldn't be too far.

Ciao!

Don't worry, Sylvain, je ne vais pas te laisser tomber 🙂

I've packaged up another 9 orders, and hope to get a chance to post today. I'll continue emailing those with the details 🙂
 
Another day, another lot of packaging.

Fortunately, I found out I can post at work and posted a few last week there to see how it went. They offer business rates so it's a bit cheaper and compensates for the price increase.

That's a lot of enclosed documents! 😀

I don't know if they'll continue to offer the service to me after I turn up with the above and say "After this lot, I'm approaching half way"!
