WTB - Solderable Eyelets ?

Hi All, building amps again and looking for some solderable eyelets like ones used in classic guitar amps on phenolic boards. Typically 2.5 to 3mm internal barrel diameter. I like this mode of construction using eyelets on a fibre/phenolic board - easy to solder and to modify. There are plenty of ey...

Hi Paul, hope the PX25s work out well for you. Even though on their 3rd date they didn't see any action on the second date with me, they just sat in a box while I got busy with building other valve gear for my home studio ! Dave - the longboard has gone down very well at home..... we had a road ridi...

Haven'...
