Washers for Carling on/off switches
« on: February 17, 2020, 04:10:39 pm »
Been looking all over, no luck, need 1/2" thin washers, to fit Carlings  on/off switches. Like what comes with Switchcraft input jacks, but 1/2".
thanks

Thanks shooter but here's the chassis/faceplate I'm trying cover, those washers are wide and thick. But I appreciate your post.
Here's what I'm dealing with, the picture shows the thin acrylic over the thicker paper faceplate, the edges of the acrylic aren't covering the hole edges for the Carling on/off switch. Just need a thin washer like on inputs jacks, the Carling switches don't come with thin washers.

A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Much appreciated, thanks guys, once l get the amp completed, I'll post how everything worked out with sound clips. Need a few more items to finish this project, I'll get them here from Doug. Thanks for all the help here.

That's the best looking AO-43 I've ever seen!    :thumbsup:

Thanks for the washer tip.

A picture of the inside of my AO-43 conversion to a 6V6 Plexi, before I start cutting wires in the PS, I'm wonder if I have routed the wiring correct or the best it can be. I'm open for suggestions, I hate to cut the CT, and filament supply wires as I have shown here, very short. Maybe keep them longer, if I wanted to use the PT in another amp, probably never will, but?  The Carling on/off switches will be next to the indicator light and the A/C input will be where the heat shrink tube is. I planned on the PS ground where you see it, on a screw that holds the cap can clamp. I've scraped the paint on all grounds. The choke is the blue and red wire through the big grommet>

I'll keep the PT Wires long and route them along the outside of the chassis. I guess l'm getting too anal here. Cheers!  :icon_biggrin:
