    So a while ago, I bought parts for an all out SE preamp build using Dave Slagle's autoformers. Specifically, the 28 step bare autoformers. The kind that need to be wired up. I think someone else built a set here too. Description as follows from Dave's site...

    28 Step Autoformer Volume Control (AVC)
    The Demand for more positions and finer attenuation steps has brought about a second product. This device has 28 steps and provides attenuation from 0dB to -52dB in 2dB steps.This uses a similar approach as the $300 kit but has a 28 pin bobbin in place of the 14 pin. When wiring this device to a switch with fewer than 28 taps you simply assess your gain structure and choose the appropriate steps.
    Price: $500 a pair

    I also bought a remote control solution from Intact Audio along with a Goldpoint stereo blank as well as a selector switch. The GP kit also has the stand-offs for balanced if you ever go 4 deck. Descriptions of these are as follows from the Intact Audio and Goldpoint sites:

    The Intact Audio Goldpoint Remote Control Kit Specs:
    • Required voltage = 9Vdc to 12Vdc
    • Required Current = approx 1 Amp when turning.
    • Very low 4Ma standby current (when the motor is not turning)
    • Step Size is 15 degrees per step standard
    Goldpoint Stepped Attenuator Remote kit Price.....................$160.00

    $123.00 USD
    Goldpoint Stereo V24C Custom Attenuator (blank), P/N V24C-2
    $75.00 USD
    Goldpoint Selector Switch, 2 Pole, 3 Position, 1 Deck, P/N 2P-3T-1D

    So now I'm selling shelf babies I won't get to soon. $858 in parts, going for $700 shipped in the CONUS.

    Also willing to sell stuff separately.

    Thanks for looking!
