Thatās not the way it works. Try sending a PM to the original initiator of the bulk order and see if there are spares.
Received my boards yesterday 
They look very nice, many thanks for all your work on this!

You will find all the informatons on the wikipage.

Picked mine up from la poste today. Who knows why, but they were routed through ZĆĀ¼rich, thus they are well travelled (double the distance from Montpellier!).
Many thanks, I hope to build something nice with them, someday.
I got the āLow-Cost LEDsā from Reichelt today, and the outcome was very good!
The brightness is perfect, especially against spotlight! 
So: LED 3MM RT is the recommended LED
For the US guys: can you recommend a similar part from Mouser? The mcd value should be at least 10 (than higher, than better)
Here a direct comparison new vs. old LEDs:

Is that the result with or without the ULNs installed?
With ULNs installed.
I havenāt tested it without (because Iāve no bridges ready), but I checked if it makes a difference if the resistors are replaced.
Outcome: 220 Ohm resistors are a good value, 47 Ohm resistors donāt make a big visual difference, but increase the power consumption.

Mine arrived in Portland Oregon todayā¦ Thanks for all the work!!!
a
ooo, that means mine should be here in Georgia soon!
Mine got to Tennessee today. Many thanks for all of the hard work! It is much appreciated.

i have a short question to the encoders that are usedā¦
what is better the version with detends or without detends? what feels and works better? without detends i think it feels mor like a āpotiā but is it usefull on those devices like this encoder matrix or other projects like MB6582?
Regards

That is totally up to you and only a question of personal taste. I for one like the detents - the input is digital (and thus quantized) anyways, so why pretend to be operating an analog device? Also, I donāt believe that removing the detent of a new encoder adds to its expected lifetimeā¦
you dont realy have to remove themā¦you have the choice at buying themā¦ther are 3 Versions availableā¦one without detends, one with 12 detends and one with 24 detends per revolution. so thatswhy my question was only about the feeling. i have to decide which one i buy next time and iām arguabel which one is betterā¦

Buy one of each and try them out!
i think one wouldnt be enough for the projects i have openā¦but i think to order 100 pieces of each. so my question was only to safe money because i imagined that anybody here means this one or that one would be better. so i could save to buy both. But thanx for your helpā¦i think i have to try it out.
What i realized on the detend version i have in the SEQV4 is that eachone of the 16 encoders has an other haptic feeling. they are all different. some are click very hard and are easy to turn, some are realy soft and are harder to turn. i think i better buy many and select them which should come together on one device.

That is rather unusual and may be a sign of a low quality product.
i donāt know were SmashTV ordered them and i will check that one i will order at Mouserā¦manufacturer of thatone i will order is bourns!
Thanks very much Jerome - my boards were waiting when I got back yesterday. They look superb!

They are/were Bourns brand, from Mouser.
I will check the ones I have in stock for similar variance. I am skeptical of the quality after hearing this (and if they are not 100% I will be removing them from the shop).
Tension variance and jumpy behavior can be caused by overheating during soldering, but I am much more likely to blame poor QC at Bourns than assembly issues.
