Re: [time-nuts] TADD enclosure screw sizes...
There is a way to slide the board in that clears the standoffs; almost impossible to describe so I should make a video of it one of these days! In general, you slide the board in with a very shallow angle of attack and do an overshoot-and-reverse. I'm sure that's an unusable description, but let it be a challenge -- it can be done! John Dave hartzell said the following on 03/14/2010 12:29 AM: Thanks John. I picked some screws up at the local hardware store. I see what you mean about the BNC mounting... FYI, I had to bend the vertical nut ears a bit to be able to get the board in, and screwed in. I'm probably going to be operating open lid for a while just to see the LED status.

It is just one of these things you have to fiddle around with. It sits very nicely there once in place. Should build the other TADD-2. My problem with them is mostly that I lack good way of hooking them to power. Need to think about that. A toggle-switch for 5/10 MHz operation should be nice.

Dave, the standoffs are threaded for a 4-40 screw, but I'll tell you a secret -- if you use the nuts and washers on the BNC connectors, the board is held very securely without any need for the mounting screws; I've frankly never bothered with them. John Dave hartzell said the following on 03/13/2010 12:51 PM: Hello, I am placing my TADD-2 into the TAPR TADD enclosure, and I need to know the size / threads of the fixed mounting posts. Anyone know?
