are these turrets? and no ?s, my lady is pretty cool!
« on: October 13, 2013, 07:26:48 pm »
Anyone know if the doohickies on top of organizer are turrets?   they are, or at least seem to be 2pcs.,   the hollow pin part will fit snugly into another,   w/ corresponding hollow turret style on top,   w/a little space midway,    (enough for a board, even if fully compressed).

they are marked with a very small icon that appears to be saturn, along with a,b,c,d...depending on size.

my Lady came upon organizer,.. old carbon Rs,   spools of good quality wire,  caps, silver mica,   old domino caps,  even those 'bootiki',   (how I despise that boutique moniker-------sounds like ladies hats or unmentionables)  vita meta vegamin Qs,   at estate sale this wknd.

Bought Organizer, filled with parts & Blk,Brn,Rd,Or,Yw,Grn....etc,... all colors, for $20

especially cool since earlier in the day, I broke off the lead in a bumblebee cap that I had recently put in my 335 and really liked after 2weeks of changing/auditioning pickups, but I guess couldn't hold up to my ham handed approach after that many p.u. changes. Wouldn't you know it, there were a couple, plus a few other denomination/values in there!. She even guessed they might be turrets before me, while I was surveying all the goods. how cool is that?.

anyway....anyone know?   ideas?
keep on with those scales and that fish is gonna die, if it don't bite you first!

never fried a tranny ..till I built a dim bulb tester. UPDATE-haven't fried anything since learning how to properly build & use one...thanks Uncle Doug, & el34 World

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

I can't see from the picture because it won't enlarge.

That said look up Keystone Electronics they make many different types, size, styles of turrets. Some are like you explain with a top/bottom part of the turret. There for a 2 sided board. They do need a special swage anvil to set them.
