MB-6582 switch

Hi

where can I get the switch used by Wilba on his CS for the MB6582 ???

looking for a french retailer ...

thanks

The switch is the same as is used on the C64.  If you can desolder one without making a mess, you can use that.  He said something a while ago about ordering some, but I haven't heard anything recently.

AFAIK SmashTV is in the process of ordering some.

Even I don't have these switches yet  >:( and temporarily use a DPDT toggle switch with the same size.

i was talking about tact switches ... a recycled the commodore as you can imagine and don't need DPDT. but thanks

[Wilba]

I don't know a French retailer, but I believe Reichelt.de have a clone of the ALPS tactile switch that will work just as well.

Wilba's right, Reichelt carries those.

Part #: Taster 3301

They're 0.11€ a piece and come in different lengths. I *think* you'll need the 13mm ones.

I used them in my mbSID, and they work nicely =)
