hand up. Adelaide here mate.
I’m from Cairns QLD.
most of the pcs for my mbox have come from jaycar.
encoders = impossable to find and expensive
lcd=dick smith (next ones will be from futurlec MUCH cheaper)
i just got 4 of 2x40 lcd from rockby.com.au $32 each
Things i would get in a bulk order switches,enc,pots,knobs.
i am looking into getting switches from switchesplus as wilba did but their qld distributer seem a little underenthusiastic
Melbourne here. Still gathering parts.
If anyone can work out which online retailer in Oz had the 2x40 VFDs on special for March, please post here.
I too would be interested in getting vfd’s perhaps in the future though. i have my 2x40 lcd to play with now.
