  6. The MB6582 Panel Group Buy : FINALLY!!

    in Bulk Orders

    Posted

    I guess we can't complain too loudly, however they have delivered a product that is significantly off-spec. Have you checked that the milling has been done correctly? ie, everything fits!

    Personally I think that 'the best they can do' is to get it right in the first place!! Accepting them back for re-screening goes without question.

    All dimensions have checked out fine.

    Excellent news, well, sort of...

    Personally i'd much rather wait, I can't get on with that artwork at all, it looks terribly amateurish, nowhere near as professional looking as Wilba's.

    Are you/we going to be compensated by FPE in any way for the delay??

    These are not from FPE, the best quote from FPE was $90 per set and $130 at the one off price. This is the place that does the x0xb0x panels.  They did accept the panels for redo without question so thats really the best they can do.  Should only be a week or so before i get them back

    Actually, I do expect the panel to be accurate to the vector render, that's the whole point!! They can obviously produce fine pitched lines, so I find it strange. The more I look at it, the more it bothers me. I guess the panels were cheap enough that it would be churlish to complain, but even so it's not what we ordered.

    Its not what I ordered either, I will wait and see what they say.

  21. MB-6582 Encoders

    in Parts Questions

    Posted

    If you are referring to:

    Mouser Part No: 318-ENC160F-24P

    Alpha Part No: RE160F-40E3-20A-24P

    I believe these are fine. You've obviously confirmed the other aspects (pin spacing, etc.). I think someone else linked to ALPS parts from the wiki, but the 25mm length is not the same as the ones I have, which are 20mm length, so overall height above PCB is 26mm. Therefore, the alpha encoders you see there are practically identical to mine. I've updated the parts list.

    I can confirm that with 26mm overall height, the Waldorf knobs push on the whole way with about 0.5mm gap between knob and panel.

    I am using those and all seems good.  They are simple to take apart also for removing the detent

  23. ALBS Clear knobs for MB6582

    in Fleamarket

    I ended up cleaning out the ALBs clear parts and have 8 sets of 15 pcs available.  For everyone who has panels on order IN THE US ONLY, I can ship these for free with your panel which should be next week.  This is first come first serve since there is a very limited number of these.

    Sets are $27 ea. with $9 shipping for Canada and $11 for the rest of the world as before.  I CANNOT combine shipping with your panels if you are outside the US since they will not fit in a flat rate envelope along with the panels and related packing.

    Same drill as before, send me an email to altitude909 at g mail dot com with "albs knobs" in the subject and your paypal address and I will send a invoice like before
