While on that subject, has anyone ever found a good source of the chrome
"dressing washers" that go behind the jack nuts on the front panels? When
you buy Switchcraft jacks, they don't come with them.

I ordered 25 Switchcraft jacks from Allied Electronics recently and they
came with all the nuts and washers in two separate plastic bags:

Hope that helps,

does anyone know a good supplier to get the 1/4"
star type lock washers
--------
Some hardware sources:

-- Extra nut for back side of pots (brass)
 -- Mouser part # 481-0095 fig AA, M 9.5 x .75  price $0.32

These are VERY nice but a bit expensive.  Still, I found them perfect for
thaty 2nd nut you need on the back side of pots so that tightening the pot
on the panel does not stress the pot.  They are for the BACK side as they
are brass in appearance.

I also found, but have not ordered them yet.  They are supposed to tbe the
exact same thread.

-- Pot Hex nuts - chrome, fits all 3/8 bushing pots
-- Electronic Goldmine part # G145  10/$1 50/$3

-- Lock washer for back of switchcraft jacks
   (different than Paul's)
-- Mouser part # 481-0680 fig BB, size 10, price 5.6 cents
    each in quantity 100

However, you can find these at most hardware stores.  But, at Lowes the darn
things were
12 cents each.  I found them at Furrows for 6 cents each.

Ken, they are supposed to come with the jacks.  They
have each time I have purchased them.
