The Holy Grail Follower Output Stage

[lhquam]

I just received a set of PCBs from JLCPCB, ordered using the JLC Gerber files posted here.

I am getting close to having a completed Build Guide which will in include the BOM(s) for the ZD25 Mini. If you are in a hurry to build, I can send a partially finished draft to you by PM.

I appreciate that. I am not in a particular hurry to build the ZD25 Mini. The F5m is still keeping me happy. The FQA28N15 and IXTQ26P20P are a good match for that design.

My source for FETs was the EBay seller Polida Electronics Ltd. For $14.99 + $5.00 shipping you can order 5 pairs of FQA28N15+FQA36P15.

Ordered. Thank you

Rush, can you confirm I am now in good standing with the shipping department? I sent payment and details to Lynn but I didn’t hear back.

The shipping dept has four address and you are in good standing.

The Build Guide and BOM are here. Attached are two files: Build-Guide.pdf and Build-guide.zip. Build-guide.zip contains test file versions of the BOMs and more detailed versions of the images shown in the pdf file.

Shipped 3 packs to Canada, one Italy and one domestic as a test and to get the customs forms.
No tracking for out of the country. Domestic does have tracking though.

Out of the US does offer tracking. The custom form for Canada is CN22.
Thanks for shipping the stuff 👍

Love the prototyping setup. 👍👍

Thanks for the build guide, very impressive.

@Rush - when do you expect to send all the other orders out?

Well, I asked about tracking when sending 1st Class outside the US. They said the Customs number will track until it leaves the USA. Then nothing.
I will post the Customs number later, just trying to get as many out the door today as I could.
I sent another 8 packages, 4 domestic and 4 outside U a few minutes ago.
My hand is tried of filling out customs forms today. The shipping department is has job openings, anyone??/

Thank you for doing all that work Rush! I know it's a time consuming job, particularly with all the customs forms, and not very mentally stimulating. Amp building is a lot more fun. We all appreciate your efforts very much!

Thanks for the update Rush, yes it is tedious when it involves customs forms and multiple trips to the post office, thanks for your efforts in all of this.

Tracking is working, I suspect mine will work through to LA from you there in Florida where it will leave the US for Australia.

 

[gary s]

USPS shares tracking data with Australia Post, so I can track the package all the way from Florida - I would be surprised if they don't do this with Canada Post as well.

 

[e_fortier]

The same goes for Canada.

 

[ACnotDC]

Many thanks for all. I appreciate your efforts very much, Rush.
Tracking is going on with Deutsche Post and DHL to Germany as well
