Re: My ?BITX in its new home
Mainly 1/2" or 9/16" OD knobs. Would like to find matching 3/4" and maybe 1" OD knobs but with 1/4" shaft. Those will work for 6mm shaft too but they will be a tiny bit wobbly. I can live with

Sorry, I should've been more clear. I know the shaft size, what size knob (outside diameter) were you looking for?

Re: My ?BITX in its new home
The ?BITX volume control knob is 3mm rather than the standard 6mm (or 1/4"). However, even the 3mm knob I have seems wobbly...it may not actually be metic, but a 1/8" knob.

Re: My ?BITX in its new home
My temporary fix was to take a piece of wood (from a #2 pencil, actually) and cut a piece of wood using an Xacto knife to fit in the "half-shaft" of the control. I then placed heat shrink over it and

Re: My ?BITX in its new home
Nope. I couldn't find one either. I've taken a knob for a 1/4" shaft, some 1/4" diameter Nylon rod, drilled the center out of the rod, drilled a hole in the side of the rod big enough to pass the

Nice! I have a member in my club who has a machine that makes signs out of Plexiglass. He can carve "mirror image" letters on the "inside" of a sign. I though I might get him to do a clear Plexiglass

It is a lit too deep but I'll use the empty space for batteries or?

Instead of the dremel, I opted for a full machine shop (lathe, mill, surface grinder, drill press, welders, ...).

Re: uBITX Case
Those rings are to center the jack in a hole on a metal panel.? So you would drill the metal panel with that hole size.
On a 1/16" they can only be 1/32" extended, so the Jack can be tightend.

Re: uBITX Case
Bill :?
These jacks normally have a little raised plastic collar as part of the molded plastic body. This seems to be the problem as it prevents
the jack body from sitting flush against the panel.
