Has anyone here made a pcb for use with the ALPS RK097 mounted on the pcb itself. if so how was it done? if not can it be done?
Also is there a way to intergreate this pot on to the tangent style cmoy based board that is described on his site.

You can design a pcb board for it or hand wire it to tangents cmoy layout. I think he sells those pots primarily as a cheaper option to the alps blue for board mounting on the pimeta pcb.

Search either this forum or HeadWize, someone's already used one in a Zippo tin.

This is a cmoy layout for the Alps Rk09 designed by forum user Tess.

The previous designs are for the rk09 pot with no switch. You would need to re-design the pcb to implement the switch or snip it off which would be a waste.

I did up an Eagle layout based on Guzzler's CMoy board for an A47 using the Alps RK097 as Tangent sells. I haven't etched one yet. It is a double-sided board (top side is ground plane). This could be built as a CMoy by leaving the second opamp and a couple of resistors off (not sure why you would want to but it could be done).

Also, some of the folks on the SG Headphone web site (no URL handy) have done up a board that is for sale for around $10... they used a similar pot, can't recall if it had the switch or not. This amp looks promising.

I think this is the link referred to:

It seems to be for a RK09 pot, don't know if it is the same. The S$10 indicated is for local self-collect purchase in Singapore. For foreign sales, you need to pm the person concerned.
