Portable Xbox Hinges?

Post by ThatGoogleGuy »

I am wondering if anyone knows what the part number is for the friction hinges Ben used on his newest portable xbox.
I know they are McMaster friction hinges, but if anyone can tell me how many pounds of torque they are that would be very helpful.
Thanks!

Hahahah!

Well since there are still people reading this, does anyone know what audio amplifier and potentiometer he used?
If not, maybe any suggestions where to buy them?

The sound amplifier Ben used was based on the TPA6021A4 amplifier chip. It's non stock but may be available at Digi Key, part # 296-18249-5-ND. The potentiometer he used for the volume control has been discontinued so it may be hard to find. I have a completed circuit with headphone jack and speakers for $60 + s & h or the 2 chips only for $15. PM me if interested.
