“MC - Loader”

 

































I had a request to build a loading box for MC cartridges. Happy to have this cast Al enclosure on hand and it worked out to be a perfect fit. Not much inside other than six resistors and some fine copper silver plated wire. Solder was WBT silver solder and heavy duty gold RCAs on back. 

The switch is center off and in this position, loading is 330 ohms. Switch to the left, according to the name plate on top, provides 100 ohms and to the right 50 ohms. All Rs were metal film and the Al box is double bitumanised heavy Al foil lined adding weight and resonance control.
