moogah Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 I see a few of you use these., but can't seem to find a place that sells them, much less in multiple colors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davo Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Can you point me to a photo of the unit in question? I think I might have some of the switches you want (got them from Jameco). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jidis Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Moogah,They look like Digitast buttons. I have sort of a history with them. I had to send back a used JL Cooper CS-10 for button cap replacements, and they all self destructed afterward. They sent me more caps, and they did the same thing (the plastic hinge part cracked and fell apart). I eventually had to give up and etched a new daughterboard for a different style of switch, with "Digitast Sucks" written in the copper. ;DI have since bought several batches off eBay and don't believe that was a common problem. Best I could figure, something had changed in the manufacturing dimensions over time, and the current cap was no longer an "exact fit", putting too much outward pressure on the hinge tabs. I have narrow gray ones here, wide blue with a red LED, and wide black with dual red and yellow LEDs. They all feel quite solid.I think I remember them being from Germany. Digikey sells them here in the US, and also appears to have something by E-Switch (5500 and 5511 series) and ITT Industries (REKN series), which look about the same. The price was what kept me from just replacing all the Coopers. It looks like the E-Switch is a bit less money.Good Luck-GeorgePS- I think I remember them in the old MidiBoxPlus pictures too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
