pay_c Posted May 18, 2003 Report Share Posted May 18, 2003 1: Certainly. Also I really would consider using the standard pots, because: Theyre hard to destroy and just because of the space: If you built the pots to near to each other, you cant just turn one really fast, because, youll touch the others.2: There is a reeeaaaally broad bandwidth: From 1.50 (or even less at ebay) up to 20 Euros or more (like ALPS high quality faders).

uclaros Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Hi cjlargear!1) I agree with pay_c!2) In greece you can find basically 2 ypes of faders. Plastic ones for about 1.3euro and metallic ones for about 3 euros.The metallic ones are sliding so smooth you'll want to use them all day. I have used plastic ones for my MBHP but haven't tested them yet since there is a lot of wiring left to do...Check "contribution in greece" forum to see where you can buy them! Sthn athina exei o FANOS panw apo thn plateia kanigos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
