Someone gotta tell me where this fugly comes from 😂 I keep reading it in many threads
@banderson546 Congrats on your new build!
find extending rod, move that Alps all the way back
as 6mm rod guide for front use front side of old pot - just dismantle it and screw to front plate
rod-pot connecting sleeve (name??) - if there is no handy one, everywhere selling for CNC builds, you can use short pieces of gasoline hoses with 5mm ID, clamped with zipties
I recognize this is hardly worth the bother to the others building the Iron Pre kits however, I bought a few extra Fujitsu Takamisawa RY-24W-K relays (from Surplus Electronics) and CK1060 rotary switches (from Newark) as a sort of impulsive reaction to having to pay shipping from so many different suppliers. But I really don't need to stockpile more stuff.
If there are a few folks in the US who would like to buy a rotary switch and some relays, message me. I would just charge exactly what I payed ($1.50 per switch and $2.50 per relay) plus First Class Mail. You will save ~$16 on shipping compared to buying them directly.

I'll be on the lookout for some Pot Extending hardware to take it to the next quietest level!
But right now with shielded cable it's pretty darn quiet!
Minarai - That's extremely generous. The Lorlin twisters are currently out of stock at Mouser and Relays are in short supply everywhere.

So looking at the schematic for the Balanced board, if I only have SE inputs I can just jumper across relay K6 and not install it. Do I need to populate C12 and D10?
Pot pad bypass would be CW+ to WIP+ and CW- to WIP- for not having the Iron Pre do Volume control.

no jumpers for K6, no C12 & D10
short CW+ to WIP+
no short needed between CW- and WIP-
you can also omit all components in neg buffer side - jfets, bjts, caps, resistors

Kits arrived fine well packaged, thanks' a lot all.
I may be tempted to use the jfets and the cinemags for a M2 or an F6
shall I go for M2 or F6?

Is it the front toggle switching the transformer primary? Would it be safer to switch secondaries instead? Or use a plastic switch?
I will probably omit the front switch. TBD
These parts provide a more fancy soluion. Available on Amazon, but you can find these parts elsewhere too...

no
case is on safety gnd, and switches as that are used for eons for smaller gadgets mains, without problems
