Are these good for the 27pF, 120pF, 150pF, and 240pF?  Also, my trimpots are about 1/4" and don't fit between the resistors.  Is there a better/smaller option.  I'm using the Cermet's from Smallbear.

Are what good?

But if they're caps then yeah... they're good. Ceramics, Film, Silver mica, just depends how much you want to spend.

The trimpot, I think the boards are sized for the Bourn 3362 type, Tayda have them - http://www.taydaelectronics.com/servlet/the-Potentiometer--fdsh--Variable-Resistors-cln-Cermet-Potentiometers-cln-3362P/Categories

Crap...I forgot to post the link:

Also...those trimmers are exactly what I have.  They don't fit between the resistors in some spots.  The pins line up perfect they just don't lay flat on the board.  I'm being anal.

The Cermets from Smallbear are 3/8" not 1/4". The 1/4" are available from Mouser or ebay. Bourns is a popular type.

Look good, 5% tollerance, should be perfect.

Well whatd'ya know, are the Tayda ones suitable? Can't see a mention of size.

Tayda are 3362 so yeah they be the perfect peice.

Didn't I read somewhere that the #1 pin on one of the ICs or BBDs had to be clipped off or something?  I can't find that in the build doc.  Am I imagining things?

I believe that's true for the LT1054 charge pump chip. IIRC, there's some info in the new Road Rage doc.

[tenwatt]

Ahhhh, yes.  That's what I'm remembering.  Thanx!

[dwstanford]

Yeah, thats on the charge pump if you use e lt1054.  Dont clip the first pin off your 3005's.

Holy crap. I literally winced when I read that.

Yea i really held my breath...

Pro tip - dont cut pins off of ICs (!)
You might need them to troubleshoot another project which requires all pins intact, and on a rarer or more expensive / hard to source IC, I wouldnt risk mutilating it

The solution is to take a second IC socket, and remove the correlating pin from that, then insert the IC into the "trimmed" socket, then plug that into the second socket soldered on your board.

HOpe that makes sense

[tenwatt]

Dont clip the first pin off your 3005's.   

No.  I wouldn't have.  I would have modded my socket.
