[sdiy] ALPS RK09K 9mm "knob shaft" pots // Song-Huei alternative

[julian schmidt]

Hello,

I just contacted SH directly. Very fast response.
They asked me to try the german distributor to get the parts.
I'm not sure about the german distributor.
His quote for the R0904 was about 0.30€ per pot with a MOQ of 1000. :-o
It also was quite an effort to get this quote from him ;)

Matthias, did you get the better price mentioned by Tom when ordering 
directly from SH ?
I think I have to contact sandy again.

Do you have any experience regarding their encoders (price, quality)?
I'm still searching for a cheap source for something like the bourns pec 
encoders (Bourns PEC12-4225F-S0024 at mouser would be 0.78€ for 50 or 
0.56€ for 1000)

The quote I've got from the german distributor is about 0.70€ per piece 
with a MOQ of 1000. :-/

Cheers,
Julian
