Potential Group Buy for VRDN Boards

[Holzarbeiter]

Newark is notorious in taking their time. They stop completely on weekends or after hours. You have to fight their 'relevent' 'teams' just to do business with them.

bhjazz,
Received the boards. VERY well packaged. You have old world skills. Haven't seen that except by the best European and old Aviation Korean War timeframe and earlier packaging.

By the way, I switched up how I packaged things with your order and now I remember what I did. Cool. Will use that style of packaging in the future.

ALSO: I have 6 boards left. Please PM me if you are interested.

Just a follow-up, I heard that a few of you have received the parts from Newark. Mine are still "Processing." Yeah, right. Email dispatched to those bozos and phone call will occur on Monday. Sheesh, sometimes these businesses just have no idea what they're doing. Oh well, the weather is nice in the Seattle area today, so it's a great time to get out of the house. 🌞

If you need some soon, I can send you some and you can return them when yours come in.

Everyone is being so kind. Many thanks! What a great community we have. Al, I think I'll wait until next week when I can chat with the Newark folks, but many thanks for the kind offer. I appreciate it.

Just 2 boards left as of ...now...

Just finished building a couple of the VRDN boards using the Newark regulators - they both fired up fine and running stable at +/- 14 volts.

Lol my order was shipped in 3 box’s. Third box showed up yesterday.

Interesting. When did you order them?

 

[Holzarbeiter]

Volpar, could you send the P/N's you ordered? Please. Newark is exasberating.

 

[Holzarbeiter]

vulture, could you confirm part No's. also that you received? I may or may not have the correct parts.

 

[volpar]

Holzar long response

 

[bhjazz]

Ah. This makes sense to me. Thanks on my end, anyway!

Here's my progress after successful power-on. Took some time hunting for authentic BC337/327 over here, where the market is flooded with fake. Output voltage looks rock stable. Thanks to Mark for sharing his layout and to bhjazz for his efforts in this GB.

I just checked and 5 boards shipped to me in Canada would cost 30USD(6$ a piece including shipping) right now from JLCPCB. The gerbers are on page 1 of the VRDN page(https://www.diyaudio.com/community/...l-ckts-11v-to-20v-1-5a-with-de-noiser.355883/)
