Steve and Jerry - Thank you for coordinating the acquisition and machining of these End Panels for the TAPR GPS Experimenters Kit. I understand these kits (SynPaQ/E version XTS) are EXHAUSTED at TAPR. Check the TAPR web site for details. https://www.tapr.org/gps_exp-kit.html
The End Panels arrived from Jerry this afternoon (Saturday, USPS Priority). They were well packed and I found no oil on my end panels. The VCC lens cap and http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/VCC/CMS322CTP/?qs=YfTKvZjIiZx%2FK6G184oH6A%3D%3D Retaining ring (Mouser) for Front Panel LEDs fit perfectly. http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/VCC/RNG_268/?qs=%2fha2pyFaduhfGvQXQvy97Y4tfuHua2s5JninzMNF16XefMczA6YdRg%3d%3d The TAPR kit does not include the "jack screws" for the DE-9 connector. I had these in my parts drawer, Jameco part number: 16548 (75 cents/set). http://www.jameco.com/z/14-522-R-Jack-Screw-Nut-Washers-Set-4-40-Hex-0-187-W-x-0-187-H-x-0-315-L-Thread_16548.html The kit Looks Great (like new). Now to build the Adapter Cable this weekend. https://www.tapr.org/images/com-cbl.jpg greg, w9gb > Subject: [time-nuts] GPS Kit Plates > > Hello again, fellow curmudgeons, > > I sent out more shipping notices this morning and plan to hit the PO in about > 5 hours. > > When you receive your plates and prior to mounting, please clean them with > soap and > water or even windex or simple green.
