=FFW=> Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Hi there, sourcing the parts for the frontpanel, i wonder if the buttons/caps wilba used: >> 58x Switch: http://www.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail?name=EG1821-ND http://www.mouser.com/search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=7Bi7Dg8SEnw0f0sbwKIXZA%3d%3d * switch is a “standard†12x12mm tactile switch, but the rectangular switch cap specified below requires this exact switch. 58x Switch cap (black): http://www.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail?name=401-1152-ND http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/CK-Components/PE-BK/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMsqIr59i2oRctAaD8wfjvPOMa0ZOJ%252b2auk%3d << are available @ reichelt or any other german / european shop. @ mouser/digikey its 20.- Euros shipping. Does anyone know which ones i can source from around here? Cheers and thanks, Daniel Edited February 12, 2013 by =FFW=> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Daniel, I made the fatal mistake with ordering only the caps hoping they'll fit to ordinary (i.e. Europe) 12mm tact switches but this wasn't the case. I had the chance do use my Dremel to cut approx 0.2mm from each switch which wasn't the way to go for me since the switches were alrady soldered in. This left me with two sets of DigiKey caps I'll sell you happily. But, actually, this makes the goods price vs. shipping ratio even worse for you since unless anyone else has spare switches you need to source them from DigiKey/Mouser anyway. Let me know if you're interested. For my SEQv4 I ended up using different caps (round ones) and ordinary 12mm switches I was able to source locally and modified the panel design. Hope this helps, freddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latigid on Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Usually they will waive the shipping once you get over a certain amount. Is there anything else that you need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuriken Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 These are indeed the switches and caps Wilba used for SEQ and Sammich. I don't think you can source them from any other company. What latigid on said, try to find more stuff you need, then the shipping is free. Or try to find someoneelse who needs something.

Hawkeye Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Hi Daniel, Like latigid on and Shuriken said, if you order above around 65€ @ mouser, they offer free shipping, which I think is very fair. Also, the delivery is quite fast, so that this is a really cool alternative to Reichelt here in Germany, with lots of goodies in their inventory ;-). You also don´t have to pay for customs, don´t know how they do it, but I guess they have a stockyard here in Europe somewhere. Many greets, Peter Edited February 12, 2013 by Hawkeye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=FFW=> Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Hey guys, first off - thank you for thinking through the situation. I ll get my feet on the ground using hawkeyes proposal. Im ordering all the stuff from mouser - i am still in the need of all parts for the seqv4. The 65 Euro mark will be passed i think. If anyone else needs something from them - drop me a line until the end of the week (that is: 16th of feb.). And to freddy: As im in for a mouser order now - i think i have no need for your caps galore :-). Thank you very much for that offer anyway! cheers Daniel Edited February 13, 2013 by =FFW=> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
