Since the posting of the link to my K3 Speaker Splitter PC board, I
have received a number of requests (orders if you will) for PC boards.
I've been thinking about the problems some may encounter with regard
to ordering the specific parts (PCB-mount 3.5mm stereo jacks) for the
splitter, and more importantly the off the wall cost of shipping
(usually $5-$7 US) for less than 3 oz of parts (and that's per each
order placed). This raises the cost of the project significantly.
I already have enough orders for PC boards that I'll not be able to
fabricate them in the Kitchen (as I often do for very small PCB
orders), and IF I proceed with the project from this end, I'll have
FAR Circuits make the PC boards for the project. This will increase
the cost of the project (just a bit), BUT it'll take a load off me,
AND it'll help keep me in Jeri's (She Who Must By Obeyed) good graces...!!!
I am proposing to completely 'kit' the project... all electronic
parts, hardware, and PC boards... for $20 or less, delivered to US
destinations... add $1 more for DX delivery.
My initial PCB order will be for one 'sheet' of thirty (30) boards
(main circuit board and an 'insulator' board to prevent the main
board from shorting out against anything on the operating desk in
back of the K3. To that end, I'll need a few more orders before I'll
be able to commit to the cash outlay for the PC boards.
IF you are interested in obtaining a kit for this project, PLEASE
contact me a.s.a.p. I will make my final decision (GO or NO-GO) by
the end of this week.
If you are interested, you can see the docs on a previous version of
the Splitter at:
http://www.n0ss.net/index_k3.html
and drop down to the line titled: "External (Dual) Speaker Splitter
for the K3".
The proposed project will be slightly smaller than that shown on my
web page and will use 2-56 hardware as opposed to 4-40 hardware in the article.

Tom Hammond N0SS
