Short bat toggle switches

Post by xtian »

I searched thru Newark and Mouser and finally found what I wanted: short bat, panel-mount toggle switches. In case you need the same:

I've been using the slightly longer bat black ones from Parts Connexion @ $2.50 ea.

They haven't given me any trouble and the black body matches my main & PS boards, small stuff but nice aesthetics. I'm the Henry Ford of G-10 boards, always use only black, shows off the parts best I think.

Above everything else, avoid the Chinese knockoffs on eBay. I bought a bunch to try and I had to rewire the amp a few weeks later because a couple went crazy on me. Definitely not worth it.

Shows off my greasy-ass fingerprints is what it does.
