Ok my "learning" cmoy is done. Got very little sleep last night and there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth. But I got everything working - I think.
One of the problems I had was wire up the pot (its one of the 6 pin panasonics). I just couldn't figure out the grounds I ended up putting the ground from the in/out jack to pin 2 and then connected pin 3 to ground on the board. Should this work or should I go back and put everything straight to the board ground?
Right now it is working fine - no hiss whatsoever but the volume doesn't seem to be boosting the source that much. Any suggestions or do I need to switch to two batteries to get a big boost? I've tried reading the boards but haven't found much on going to two batteries (other than it fixing a problem w/ distortion on creshendos)...
Thanks and I'll post pics of this one tonight (though the innards are quite ugly
