Everything the Cap Caddy offered and then a little extra.
Whether you're hunting for the mojo in some NOS caps (see the Cap Caddy description), looking for a no nonsense substitution/decade box, or maybe just wanting to trial varying combinations of symmetrically or asymmetrically stacked clipping diodes, the Selector will come in handy.
The Selector was designed to allow you to toggle any of 12 different components in or out of a circuit in a parallel configuration with the press of a dedicated latching button. Simple concept, loads of utility.
Going one step further than the Cap Caddy, the Selector features a new socket type for mounting your components. In addition to the screw terminals and machined SIP sockets, each component row (from A to L) features a board-flush plug socket that will accept thick leads with a diameter of .6mm up to about .9mm. This comes in handy when you've got a component with leads too short to reach the screw terminals and also too thick to fit the SIP socket.
After playing around with this for just a few minutes, I decided to discontinue the Cap Caddy in favor of this faster and more versatile prototyping tool. Don't get me wrong, the Cap Caddy is great - but the Selector is better.
