Ages ago I planned to construct a passive preamp and purchased the necessary parts and case. I never got round to putting it all together and now cannot find the rather expensive custom aluminium case I bought to house it.:steam:

I still have the other parts including an Alps pot (100k logarithmic), two ELMA switches, and 20 gold plated phono chassis sockets (10 red and 10 black). I can't remember what I paid for it all but I think the two ELMA switches were pretty expensive. The single is a 3 position 2 pole and the double a 6 position 2 pole, both Swiss made. I see the phono sockets are still on the Maplin site at £2.99 each.

I am enclosing some photos and would be grateful if someone could suggest a fair sale price for these items. I would prefer to sell as one lot, ideally to someone with a nice case! :)

Thanks

The way prices are you can pretty much write off the phono sockets.
The knobs are probably worth a tenner.
You should be able to get an idea of the switch and pot prices through a bit of auction site browsing but you can buy the pot for around £20/£25 delivered.
All in all not a great return. Your best bet would probably be to list the lot as a whole for maybe £50 and see what interest you get.
