[sdiy] E SWITCH VERUS C+K??? need 25 SPDT toggles

[Dan Snazelle]

well let me ask a possibly silly question. on a panel with 50 pots, i feel like the toggles are more likely to fall apart than the alpha pots. so i figure i will go with alpha pots and C&K switches. i might spend 120 on toggles but they will last. the pots, well 50 5 dollar pots would be more than i could possibly spend. unless there is a specific Pot i am overlooking right now that is 16mm knurled that is ten year reliable and only costs 2-3 bucks a piece.



but C+K switches are good. I am using good quality rotary switches and caps and resistors. so the pots will be the only inexpensive item. and alpha arent that bad are they?


thanks
