as some of you may know i am busy with a little project on the vim.
for this i also want to replace the mini rca with smb sockets.
these are not really cheap and if we buy with a bunch of people the price can be reduced significantly.
i already need 12 but if more people are interested the price will go down of course.
i am hoping on at least 100 socket connectors that we can buy.

the coax cable in the link would be nice.

and this for the plug.
http://www.newark.com/amphenol/smz6112a6-3gt30g-6-75/plug-smb-right-angle-75r/dp/23M7342

this way you can finally get rid of those crappy mini rca`s.

It almost looks like something that you could order in bulk and then sell as a kit in the 3rd party vendors section of the forum. However it also looks like something very few people would have the skill to do themselves. It's too bad your outside the US, you could offer the VIM's and VNB's on an exchange basis.
I know the coaxial cable in the marquee is not very good and rather poorly shielded.

i doubt if that will sell.
most of us are just happy with the mini rca, just a few would consider this and what would i have to ask say 7 dollars for the socket *6=42 plus 6* 6dollars for the plug plus coax cable = 78 + lets say 10 dollars for the cable that is 88 dollars already and that is costprice.

100 dollar might scare people of and i certainly wont go to so much trouble doing this for 12 dollars profit even if i would live in the us.

if i can find a bunch of people willing to buy the socket i am happy.
this little vim project is costing way more then i expected already bought for almost 600 euro in components.

Hmm I might take 12-21, not sure. it depends on if i want to alter all my parts supply. 12 for sure for the blend.

Just not sure yet, I need to finish a few thing on my plate but for sure put me down for 12, if you order extra to keep cost down then we have a source.
And if i where you i'd want to order extras as sometime you can screw up. Wink

21?
you will need 6 per projector so the amount has to be a multiplication of 6.
it is best someopne in the us orders them if i order them they have to be shipped from the us to europe and back.

I seriously think you will not see any gain from this as the RCA's are sufficient for the application but hey, if it makes you feel better, go for it. Thumbs Up

Chip your right if we were like you just watching our pj's instead of using them as a hobby then i'd agree. but when you dis-connect those connectors over 100 times they fall apart. its more for strength than a visual performance upgrade ole buddy ! Wink

parts from farnell came in today among with the plug and cable.
they are really nice and much better then the mini rca`s i am sure they have far better conductive characteristics and are very firm.
i will make a cable with my limited tools (peeling knife for potatoes and small cutting pliers)so this will take some time and post a pic.

Yes, I am back,
been so busy over the last 2 to 3 months, not had much time to do what I want to.
Our 2 boy's have also been on 5 weeks of school holidays.

Modifications have been very slow, but had a couple of nice upgrades to performance 2 days ago.
more on that to come.


I will also be back on Skype again, so chat soon.



Cheers
Steve


p.s. Dennis, PM sent

p.s.s. Athanasios, PM me the details for the plugs and sockets, need enough for 2 projectors.
No need for cables as I have my own Silver cable which I use.
