[simpits-tech] Momentary Toggle switches

[Rick Davis]

Thanks Roy,

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and order up the  BI unit tonight. It's 40 
bucks and I can afford to stuff that in a tobacco tin with the other junk I 
bought and wouldn't work if need be. 150.00? hmmmm. I'm not so sure what I 
want to do with it aside from experiment with a bunch of these old Airforce 
Surplus switches and junk I got here someplace. I sure ain't got no panel 
like you got there buddy! Well I do I guess. It's also in the basement 
leaned up against the table saw and resembles a sheet of 3/4" plywood. Been 
there six months. Lots of toys and no time.

Rick
