BargyBass Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 We had this on the previous forum.. I was warned about the switch on these being a bit 'dodgy'.. Well, it is!! I need a replacement.. Just wondered where the guy that put a replacement in got it from.. I'll have a look on Maplins website to start, but would appreciate a bit of info from someone who's done this already.. (Again!!) Cheers, BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a DPDT switch? - try here [url="http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/search/browse.jsp?N=411+1001616&Ntk=gensearch_001&Ntt=dpdt+switch&Ntx="]Farnell[/url] Hamster Edited June 22, 2007 by Hamster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I however have a non-technical brain and the Farnell website proved way too complicated for my limited intelligence.. I have so far drawn a blank at Maplins..

Unless of course the member who posted previously about this same problem stops noodling around and posts here! Hamster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 can you post a pic of the switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_the_bass Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 i replaced the spdt switches in my marshall footswitch with dpdt jobs from maplins. they seem alright but they're a fiver each - you can probably find em on ebay for less i don't know if farnell supply us joe publics although interestingly enough i went for a job interview at farnell ages ago the most misinformed choice by any recruitment consultant ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Sorry it's a bit late but there's a bloke on ebay who sells good quality Jap made DPDT switches that should be right up your street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
