Guess that was my question....In the ORIGINAL schematic provided, I am assuming that is the view from below....how do you know for sure? OR is the assumption that all pots shown are 'in' the enclosure and therefore can only be viewed one way, IE from below....

I am guessing the view is from below based on the way it is drawn(that is why I numbered it the way I did) AND this reference from Beavis Audio seems to suggest the same, to my little mind. Am I wrong?

Appreciate it! This has always confused the hell out of me...pretty sure I have driven myself nuts before with this!

I don't know if this will help or not, but manufactures actually specify which pin is which in the datasheets:

Sorry for a hijack here - Dan, did you replace the single turn trimmers on your Glasshole with multi-turn trimmers? Those kind of look like Bourns 3266w? Did you need more precision, or?

Thanks!

Hi!
I used the 10 turn trimmers because that's what I had on hand. This project is pretty easy to dial in. Set the brightness trimmer (1k) about halfway. The offset is the important one... Set the depth pot all the way CW, Feedback CCW and rate fairly slow so you can see the full "sweep" of the LED by the LDRs. Of course this has to be done in close to complete darkness so it helps to have a light on your multimeter. Set the "offset" trimmer (10k) so the LED gets very dim (almost off) but not all the way off. Then you can tweak the two trimmers to taste. I found that adjusting the offset so the LED doesn't turn all the way off is very important.

Thank you!

So far, it looks like there are some traces overlapping in the lower left. The 5088 has its emitter and base connected, and the 1k and the 10k shouldn't be connected. Again, it's because the traces are crossed.

Also the 22R should be a 220R.

Maybe this will help:

I actually designed a board for this last year, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm pretty sure it'll work with roll your own vactrols, so the board is set up for LEDs and LDRs.

Maybe I can give it a go soon. I haven't been able to do any builds for a while but that should change soon.

If it works, I can see if I can get a batch of boards made for you guys. No guarantees, I've got a few kinda difficult things going on right now, but I'll give it a try.

There are a bunch of organizations that take instrument donations:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=instrument+donation+maryland&t=lm&ia=web

The Maryland Symphony Orchestra also takes donations, including guitar, although I didn't see on the site if they take electrics. The instruments are "for use in general music classrooms" so they might take electrics.

You mean something like the Zappagizer?

Very nice!!

Which LDRs did you use on the Lodge Phaser/Pan?

Maybe this will help:

The doc is for the TA7136AP instead of the TA7136P, I don't know how much difference that makes.

Very nice!

And thank you for posting the build process pics - I always learn something from those when people post them.

According to the Florida DOH, nearly one-third of children tested for COVID in Florida are positive.

Here's the Florida DOH data:

I found this, it just takes an spst (which only has solder lugs) stomp switch.

the 4 pads are just 2 duplicated pairs.
Connect 1 pad at upper row and 1 pad at lower row will do.

Probably an spst momentary contact normally open like this:

Several counties here in California - Yolo, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Solano, and Santa Clara - are currently under a shelter in place order. And I just heard that Sacramento County, where I'm at, will have an SIP order starting at midnight tonight.

Sacramento County Public Health Order

Sacramento County has 45 confirmed COVID-19 cases, and three who have died from complications of COVID-19. It is also clear that Sacramento County has community transmission of this virus.

As of March 19, 2020, at 11:59 p.m., the Sacramento County Health Officer is directing all individuals living in the county to stay at their place of residence except for essential activities. The legal order is based on the same directives of social distancing issued this week to slow the transmission of the disease, but it provides more detail and enforcement ability. The legal order limits activity, travel and business functions to only the most essential needs and is intended to protect those most vulnerable to the disease, slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, and preserve local healthcare capacity.
