[sdiy] Learned a few things today...

[R. Drake]

the other problem is sometimes they're cheaper than others.  i've bought
several hundred toggles from allelectronics... great price, first 2 orders
were just fine, but this last batch were obviously factory rejects,
unusable.  so it's a crapshoot...  i guess you pay extra for QA, not
necessarily for manufacture.

got my ck7211's from elec. goldmine today... they look ok, and quite a
bargin.
