OLD: Parks Audio Budgie SE - updated 8/21/14
Posted: Sat Sep 15, 2012 1:20 pm
Manual and BOMs:
Budgie SE Manual- The parts list is broken down into three sections: Mouser PCB, Mouser Chassis, and other vendor parts. The first two sections are complete with the BOM instant entry links, while the third section is not. But everything - every last nut - should be in that list. I still plan to draw a separate drawing of the audio input cabling (RCAs to volume pot to board) and the 120VAC wiring (with lengths and fast on connector info).
Purchase:
Budgie SE board set (chassis plate and Budgie PCB) - $78 plus $5.25 shipping:
Budgie SE (PCB only) - $39 plus $2.75 shipping:
Cost at a glance:
Mouser PCB parts.........$37
Mouser chassis parts....$103
Other suppliers parts....$145
Budgie SE boards.........$78
Total.............................$363 (plus shipping costs)
There are a lot of ways in trimming that much lower. I'll post a thread on that later.
*NEW* Front Panel Express Top Plate File
Rev History:
8/21/14 - Added forum link to Front Panel Express file.
10/25/12 - Updated the Mouser Instant Entry for the PCB due to three backordered resistors. Note that schematic has the grid reistsors for the EL84s as 220K - this needs to be updated to match parts list (475K is correct).
