Does anyone no of a UK retailler, preferably online, that sell motor faders and rotary pots? I've found loads of suppliers for the electronic components but can't find anyone selling these items.

here's an idea of what I'm planning.....

here's an idea of what I'm planning.....

I've been inspired to make a daw controller myself as nothing seems to be out there that does what I want. The ID is the closest I've seen but the rumoured costs and access to a host of features I don't and probably won't use has discouraged me somewhat. I'm about halfway through designing my controller (I'll be posting shortly for comments and suggestions), and the core is going to be scalable 8 channel strip modules. My query is I wanted to have LCD's to display channel names on each channel but all the units I've seen are to big. I notice on the Steinberg ID that 2 channels share a 2*16 LCD with 7 digits on the bottom row for each channel, effectively making 2 LCD's which would fit in my planned 40mm per strip. here's an image to help clarify: ftp://ftp.steinberg.net/download/pc/hardware/Steinberg_ID/pictures/IMG_1167.jpg Is this possible to recreate with MIOS, ie. 4 2*16 LCD displays split so 2 inputs go to each and display the channel names. Also does anyone know uk reseller of penny and giles touch sensitive motor faders or if P&G sell small orders direct?
