DS are bigger, xaudiox used these relay in his 1st version of the B1 deluxe than he moved into the more modern and compact TQ2.
Look at the pins: they don't match with the holes in the new pcb with pot.
Ds are always yellowish, while TQ are dark blue
Sorry, I missed that switch from DS to TQ. Between ...-fran and xaudiox it's the correct part along with its picture.
Thanks, massimo.
Thanks, massimo.
Suggestion: if you find some TQ-2 realys on eBay or flea markets, dont' buy smd type thinking "I can later bend the pins upright". They break very easily! 😉
These relays are currently $2.76 at Mouser. How much cheaper can they get on eBay? I wonder where people source these for less.

If you buy surplus from a company that ordered 1 million pieces, you generally get them for pennies! 😉
No way I can argue with that. I just bought 15 for $19.99 on eBay including shipping. That's $1.33 a for each relay delivered at my doorstep.
Thanks
Thanks
mmmm. I searched on bay alst night for some of those but didn't get any at those prices. Must look again.
On a brighter note, I did order a bunch of 2SK170s and other few bits!
And my lightspeed controller is coming on nicely!

hi guys,
i've been trying to improve the layout of the deluxe b1 and came up with a idea of removing the scoring line and making it just one whole pcb..
please let me know what do you think about this.. sorry again for another layout..🙂

That looks great, I just added one to my order! Nice work, removing the score makes it a cohesive whole, very nice. Thanks.
You can consider C15=47uF instead of 100uF. I have experienced adequate time delay with 47uF. Also try to listen with and without the 100nF capacitors you added on all electrolytics when you make the prototype. Sometimes they open the sound and sometimes they add harshness for numerous reasons.
I think once we went with 2 separate boards, ie basic and deluxe versions, there is no longer any need to keep the scoring.
You layout looks great to me, but what would I know! One thing I would suggest, and only because its been real handy for me in the past is to organise the outputs so that you can use a 3 pin screw terminal or even 3 pin headers. Makes life very easy if you are moving something in and out a few times getting it running.
But either way is fine and I appreciate its getting tight on that board!
Thank you for so much effort in bringing this to us.

Edited the Wiki for 2 basic, 2deluxe 4me. Interesting design and nice pcb. Gotta make it, wondering if its any good.😀
