You misunderstand what I am telling you. I am recommending a specific wall wart, the Elpac WM080, and a specific jack, which I gave details for in my previous post. These will work together, no magic required.
Now if you go and get a different power supply, obviously you have no guarantee any more. I gave you a combination that will work; that is not the only combination that will work, but I have no interest in coming up with new combinations for you. If you want a different wall wart, you'll have to find the matching jack yourself. You'll even have to do the research to find out if it comes with a cord -- I can't tell you that all wall warts come with cords, because I suppose the world has enough variety in it that there are wall warts that come without cords.

I mean to jumper the cap position. Then you have no RC filter, and thus no worries about corner frequencies or phase shifts. You also have no DC offset protection. These issues are discussed in the docs.

No, not at all. You can use a 1N400x in D1, but usually you want a much larger diode there because D1 sees a heavier load in many conditions. D2 has a much easier load, so it can use a small diode like one of the 1N400x series.

0.61 and 0.75 are outside diameters of the knob. What you care about is the shaft hole diameter. The shaft on the Panasonic pot is 6mm. Ideally, you should find a knob for 6mm shafts. If you can't find one in a style you like, you can go with an 0.25" shaft knob, which is 6.35mm. This will result in a bit of wobble as you turn the knob, unless you pad the shaft out to 6.35mm. This can be done with a layer or two of Scotch tape, but you have to cinch the knob mounting screw down tight so that the knob doesn't slip on the padded shaft.
I didn't want to assume that the cable came on the "brick" and that it would magically fit in any the jack that i buy for it, since i'm pretty sure there is more than one type of jack that you can buy, but i guess everything will work out. |

when you say jumper c1, do you mean just leave it unpopulated? |

So i use the same diode that i would have used in D1. |

Edit: ok, this has become too expensive, i'm going with a panasonic EVJ-C20 pot, my question is, what volume know will fit this. There are some listed in the parts list, but i'm not sure if they all fit the panasonic pot. One is ALUMINUM .61"D and the other from digikey says .75" but i can't find any measurement like this for the panasonic pot except for 12 mm. any ideas. |
