[sdiy] Joysticks and electronics RFQs

[Tom Bugs]

Hi,

I'm trying to locate a regular source of Alps Joysticks - models 
RKJX1210 and RKJX1310
- check 'em here: http://www.elfa.se/pdf/64/06413538.pdf (they're not 
available from Elfa though..)

I got a small lot from electronicsurplus a year ago, but they don't have 
'em now..
Looks like I've got to go the route of putting in RFQs - something 
that's new to me..
So I wondered if anyone had much experience or could recommend 
particular services.

(Certainly searching for the two model codes doesn't give much other 
than chinese sources)
I put in a request at hkinventory.com and now have received quite a few 
quotes (some of them VERY good price) - but the info on these traders 
seems very sketchy.. Seems like it could be a 'pit-of-scam'!

Any help or pointers on either requests please let me know
(off list for particulars, but onlist for replies that would be useful 
to all --- I'd imagine many people would be into these joysticks if a 
supply can be found)

Cheers,
Tom / BugBrand
