I don't know if one exists specifically for RJ-11, but there are plenty meant
for Ethernet (RJ-45), and you can plug RJ-11 plugs into RJ-45 jacks and all.

See, e.g., http://www.mouser.com/catalog/catalogUSD/643/1328.pdf ,
www.mouser.com/catalog/629/984.pdf ,etc.

Buy a punch or use a milling machine. If the material is soft you can
use a drill-press and a cross vice as well.

Mouser has one but it isn't cheap at 27 bucks.

What kind of 'panel'?

May not be elegant but use an RJ11 wall plate for like a buck or two.

Expensive,very expensive......but good if there's lots to do.

Use a dremel....finish off with a file.

If you have a drill press, you can use a Broache to make a square hole.
Might be cheaper than a Punch.

But for this I would use a nibbler, like the one RadioShack sells (or
used to)

Do they have a Home Depot or Lowe's or Builders' Emporium or equivalent

They've got RJ11's up the ying-yang.

I haven't read through the thread but, if no one has else suggested
it, why not nibble out the opening for a snap-in jack in a
square/rectangular piece of 0.062" aluminum, FR-4, etc., then drill 4
mounting holes at its corners, a clearance hole in the ABS box for
the rear of the jack, mounting holes for the panel, and put the thing
together with machine screws?

I think he found a solution with this little fellah

http://www.l-com.com/item.aspx?id=2690


Yup. Already ordered.

Now if I could only find some 7mm x 12mm proto board :-(

I found an ancient piezo "ringer" schematic, converted it to 74HCxxx
and added gating. Simulates per the typical tone frequencies, so that
looks good....

http://analog-innovations.com/SED/RingOscNew_Wiring.pdf

And I'm close on the processing logic to answer/hang-up on 800-number
callers.

Yup. Already ordered.

Now if I could only find some 7mm x 12mm proto board :-(

.28 inch by .47 inch ?


I found an ancient piezo "ringer" schematic, converted it to 74HCxxx

looks good....

In any application, Phenolic is brittle and can easily be broken,
especially when drilling mounting holes close to corners.

FR4, (G10) OTOH, is pretty much indestructible.

You laugh all you want ! I've done similar where the scan coil
connector has burnt holes in the PCB because of bad solder joints.
Cut away the burnt area and used Araldite to fill the hole sandwiched
between strips of wax paper. Replace the connector and use copper wire
the re-establish the connections.

...Jim Thompson


He serviced them for awhile. Then customers started complaining that
my Dad did poor service... as soon as the tubes aged, the reception
degenerated. So he dumped Muntz altogether.

Not that it mattered. Though he was located in Huntington, WV, he
became the largest RCA dealer on the east coast for many years. He
even played golf with David Sarnoff on a regular basis. (Met him on
the Greenbrier golf course at White Sulphur Springs, WV, and they hit
it right off. My father was consistently a par player (*)... even
into his 80's :-)

(*) With five holes-in-one to his credit... Spring Valley and
Guyandotte Country Clubs. Died in 2008 at age 90.

Yeah, I knew exactly what his sign meant and why. Muntz TV sets had
barely enough parts to work at all, which is why they were uber cheap.

"There's something about a Muntz." You be there was; it's only one
step above junk.

Sure. Out of the box they usually worked for 'some' period of time.
That's a bit better than junk.



I never saw on 'just out of the box'. Like Packard Bell, we didn't

Well, just about everything ends up there sooner or later but Muntz

I only saw one of them, but that was enough. It looked like it was
