I was worried whether I could get an alps pot in that thing, but luckily it worked out! Anyway, I'm looking for a nice 9V battery holder for this build. Anybody have suggestions?

Thanks MisterX, I was just looking at that case a few minutes ago. Its got a power switch as well. I don't know what I'll do with it since I'm using an alps 10k pot with a switch. I guess I'll have to be a little creative... Thanks again.

Agreed, the switch is pretty redundant.
Doesn't radio shack offer something very much like that one from Mouser?
I could have swore they did but.....

I only know of the 9V clips. I'll have to check the local radio shack with a fine tooth comb next time

Think you could fit the cells from that bettery in one of those tic tac cases?

The question is... are you willing to cut it open to find out?

grasshpr · 10-31-2005, 03:06 AM

Nope MisterX, doesn't fit unless I make a really big cut off the wide side of the tic-tac box. It will look rather bad...

I was initially going to put some velcro on the side of the tic tac box and on the 9V battery, buts that may look kindof ugly.

However, a few AAA batteries will fit in the Tic-tac box. Maybe a really small DC-DC converter circuit in the box will work, I'll think about it for a later revision (gotta get some more tic-tacs in order to have some more fun

).

Thanks for the ideas MisterX

That kinda sucks because a matching battery pack would have rocked.

Just a cmoy I built a while back...in the ubiquitous Altoids tin:
