Title: Some tweaks in the NOS1
Post by: juanpmar on December 11, 2014, 01:10:06 pm
I like the NOS1 look, although the H form is aesthetically questionable I personally like it. It´s different and original. However this H form also has its drawbacks, mainly in the placement of the inputs and outputs. That placement makes the cables cross and even touching each other.

Having to make new connections for the Blaxius 75B I changed the position of some of these connectors. I've also made some other changes.

The USB input has been moved to the rear of NOS1, in this case I had to open a new hole.

The coaxial outputs have been put together in the left rear part. Thus the cables have now a clear path.

To further facilitate the path of the coaxial cables the  battery is now placed inside the chassis, it has the disadvantage that when replacing the battery you have to open the box but the battery lasts long.

Finally, I placed rubber bands attached to the top plate to prevent vibrations.  If now we hit with the knuckles a thud is heard.

These are just a few tweaks to facilitate the use of the NOS1. I hope Peter aprove it  ;) Meanwhile I wait eagerly for his new and secret improvement in the isolation of the NOS1.

Due that I have to visit the family in these dates I´ll be out of home until New Year, so I can´t test the Blaxius until then. I´m not sure if I can wait so long...

Regards,
Juan

Beautiful !

I only wondered how you made that extra (USB) hole in the back. Was that stamped ? When drilled I wouldn't like the vibrations coming from that.

Peter

Thanks Alain and Peter I´m glad you liked the modifications.

Peter, the hole is made with a drill column that they have in the workshop. They work with precision electronic components, mostly for weighing. When drilling there are vibrations but are of low frequency, so it is difficult to make some damage in the contacts or connections, according to the opinion of the technician. It could be better if they made the hole with laser or stamped but they have not a way to do it there.
