First a big thnx to Thorsten - i’ve been lurking for a few years now (watching ..waiting 
) neway recently decided to make the plunge and make a “box”. while looking i’ve found a supplier of APLS who is about to bring into the country a small (100 units) supply batch of motorised ALPS faders. due to the great (well relative) xchange rate we have at the mo’ the trader will be selling each unit for $31 GST included. importing will take 60 days to hit the shores.
a link to the site - http://www.switchesplus.com.au
and their phone number is 03 95874044 ask for Kevin.

thanks for the tip!

BTW the best way to learn how to build the 'box is to start putting it together… you will learn as you go, if you get stuck, just ask for help!!
