Hi Frank,

Do you know if the cost will be similar ~60EUR inc shipping etc ??

If so, count me in for 100 please

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Frank,

Do you know if the cost will be similar ~60EUR inc shipping etc ??

I think so, but it’s hard to calculate: Cost of Shipping to me, bank transfer costs, tax and VAT (19%),

packaging and porto to you all, paypal…  :o

Thanks again

Maybe things are quicker to arrive when customs don’t need to look at it and calculate how much tax you have to pay.

Wow, crazy fast shipment. I had mine shipped to USA and they arrived last week some time. I just picked them up yesterday.  Top notch. Good find Wilba.

I should have had mine sent with yours and just picked them up. I have this weird feeling mine will be here tomorrow though. I can just feel it. :slight_smile:

Encoders arrived in Germany. No customs hassle. Thanks a lot!

Best regards, ilmenator

encoders arrived yesterday and so well packed

thank you again Wilba :wink:

Also got my encoders & SIDs today!!  :slight_smile: Thx a lot (once again) Jason for organizing this!!! Thumbs up!

Hi Everyone,

My encoders arrived last week in California, USA.  ;D

Thank you again, Wilba , for organizing this group buy.

I removed the detents on some of these and they do seem way more solid after the operation than the alpha or alps equivalents

Jimp, did you took off the spring completely or you just flattened the “teeth”

I`ve removed the detend spring completely and noticed the encoder is little bit bouncing compared to unmodified encoders. Maybe it would be more stable if the teeth is just flattened with the pliers, but than rotation is not so smooth.

i bent the spring down out of the way, so theoretically it is reversible, though i plan to never try it.

i haven’t exhaustively compared them for electrical stability, but mechanically they are far better

Just a little update for the second run: 700 pieces so far:

2007-11-29 aeiou42 100

2007-11-29 Enth 100

2007-11-29 wicked-E 100

2007-11-28  mrmeana 100+

2007-11-28 Jack 100

2007-11-30 Dave 100

2007-12-14 Steve 100

The MOQ (minimal order quantity) at soundwell is 2000 pieces, my MOQ is 100, because there is

a lot of extra work involved. Wilba told me the encoders will come disassembled with washers and

nuts in extra bags.  Counting and packaging will take a while.

Hope you understand.

Is there a wiki bulk order page for this second order?

I would like 100 encoders please.

Please count me in for 100.

thanks.

kind regards

Michael
