What's New in this version
By reducing the PCB footprint and eliminating those tiny, tricky board-flush plug sockets, I was able to reduce this kit price by about 10% and shorten your assembly time without impacting functionality.
About The Selector
Component mojo is real. There is no question about that. But where that mojo lives exactly (in your ears? in your mind? gut?) is up for debate.
Whether you're hunting for the mojo in some NOS caps, 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.
The Selector features screw terminals and machined SIP sockets for mounting components of varying sizes.
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 was great - but the Selector is better.

Earrings "Without a trace"
When life gives you lemons, make... earrings? After realizing the a mistake I made with a batch of failed PCBs I took to reddit to share my blunder and have a laugh at my own expense. Wasn't long before someone suggested I turn these little lemons into earrings. Long story short - now I sell jewelry. READ MORE...$9 USD BUY/DETAILS ⮕
