Looking for this switch (Midas Venice solo switch)

Oh yes! wonderful stuff, but can you still buy it? I`ve been looking for ages, some companies list it but can no longer supply.

Wanna bet ?

Graham

Indeed.

Instead I have contacted the sales director of Shuttlesound to find out why his company does not keep adequate spares stock and contacted Bosch/Telex directly to try and identify the switch.

Incidentally, despite the wording on the back, it was NOT designed in the UK at all, but entirely by Dynacord. Probably explains the diabolical inter-channel crosstalk.

On Mon, 08 Sep 2008 11:40:22 +0100, "Ron(UK)" put finger to keyboard and composed:

The Philips part number is 4822 389 50125.

I get mine here:

Cost is AU$13.23, ex-stock.

All this talk about Assmanns, DIPs and tasters is getting me excited!

After a few carefully considered phone calls and emails, not least to the manufacturer and the sales director of the agent, the switch has mysteriously appeared 'in stock' !

The spares guy made out he'd been ordering some in all along which is funny since he didn't mention that on Friday !

The Ampex ATR700 decks use a switch that might be the same beast. It is a PCB that slides into the pushbutton. I've seen spares for sale on the net for that switch. You might want to search for ampex parts. AMpex mailing list or something like that. bg

Looks like it`s no longer available in dear old Blighty, it`s probly got some evil chemicals in it. Shame cos it was the best switch cleaner I ever tried.

Ron

Nearly forgot !

Thanks everyone for all the positive input.

Graham

Thanks but that doesn't sound like it. I'm fairly confident it's an ALPS (or similar) part.
