Completed AUCTION to benefit the Haven -- Redboy Switchety-switchy Box no.1 -- ends Sunday!

[Redboy]

This is a no reserve auction for one switchety-switchy switcher box thingy that I built. Maybe you saw it in the other thread recently.

It's built with four inputs and two switchable outputs. Parts highlights include a very nice Swiss Elna selector switch and a NOS mini toggle switch from my personal stash. Western Electric wire and nice gold plated RCA jacks.

It's hand built by me, and if you look very closely you will find a couple of flaws that bother me. But it's the first of its kind -- number one!

Let's run this for a week, until 10:00 p.m. Central time on Sunday, February 4

Bidders to bid directly on this thread - no private/direct messaging. The winning bidder agrees to contribute directly using the Haven's Paypal link. I'll ship after confirmation of contribution from @prime minister

That's kind of you, thanks! Aesthetics are important to me but so very subjective... I'm glad you like it.

I'm humbled by the response here. Thanks for the votes of confidence and your support of this fine place we call the Haven.

Really cool looking device. It's hard to grasp the scale from the cool photos, is this about six inches long? Or maybe a photo with a can of beer would give me the scale. (smile)

Cheers,

Snade

Good point!

The enclosure itself is about 6 x 3 x 2.

No beer on hand at the moment, but...

Great box and very handy. I built something similar with an Elna switch and some RG-316. The steel bar is for weight.
