Any interest in cheap 2pole, 23position rotary switches??

Postby Sammas » Mon May 30, 2011 9:15 pm

Hey chaps,

I've been chasing a large number of switches for a while for some projects I'm keen to wrap up. I've found a supply of suitable switches, but the minimum order is 200. Identical to this, aesthetically (minus the wires and SMD resistors): http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VALAB-23-Ste ... 45f96ef93e
Specs:

- 2 deck (1 pole per deck), 23 position with an end stop.
- Make before break.
- 32mm diameter including solder tabs.
- 16mm long "D" shaft.
- 53mm "long" in total.
- Enclosed/Sealed.
- Chinese made... These ain't no Elma or Greyhill switches, but should do the job.


This is a custom order, so there is a lead time. Switch price is about $7 a pop plus whatever local shipping is on top of that from me to you.

Is anybody interested? I only require about 40 switches... so I am hesitant to place an order if I am going to end up with 150 odd switches sitting on my shelf!

Hey Myles!

Various projects. The biggest is the Barry Porter NetEQ which requires 26 of them, plus another 4 three-deck switches for the high and low frequency selections.

Then it is just other bits and bobs that I've yet to finish up. SSL 9k, etc.
