    Think these things are wired point-to-point, or eyelet boards?

        Interesting idea. I did a web search but not much came up re: voltage. The guy mentioned "watch batteries". Does anybody know the required supply voltage? If six of them are not crammed in there (assuming each one is 1.5v), would less than 9v mean less headroom?

          Doubt so.

            While once again I didn't get to the NAMM show, I heard about this cable today at church, and will no doubt be seeing samples of the cable at CenterStaging this coming week or so. Curios myself to see what's been built inside that 'spaceless cavity in the Rt Angle phone plug. I'll pass along my findings (as will everyone else when they see it).

              They came out with volume control cords geez, many years ago. I never saw one for repair. Someone came to me and asked if I could make one, and I told him to just buy a commercial one.

                Suggested list is about $60 US. They will probably have a 1 yr. warranty then you toss it if it breaks. Maybe they will sell the little board for half the price of a replacement or something.
