Part II:
Building a Line Input Selector for Vintage Audio Systems

The second article showcases a project to build the Line Input switch which was called-for in Part-I. You may be surprised at the interesting design issues which are involved in this seemingly trivial project. Perhaps the most useful parts of the article though, are the detailed tutorials on a method for applying excellent panel graphics and a low-cost template/punch method for making clean, accurate holes. Check it out here:

Part III, yet to come...
Building an Automatic Phono/Speaker Switch
for Vintage Audio Systems
