Hi all,
I´ve found some nice encoders with 24 detents for 0,9 EUR (think they are not so bad) on my way to undetent them I´ve made some makro-shots of them.
Best regards
clem!
nice price. how hard is the detent, and where did you get them? 
hi,
at [eeh]bay.de auction no. 290331602176 (at the moment still active), if you are good on an oriental bazar you can get them eventuelly for a lower price.
I think the detent is normal. EDIT/ meanwhile I have undetented all the encoders for the sid if you are very sensible, it is possible to halfundetent them ;) /EDIT
Good luck
clem!
I’m still looking for a nice encoder with a similar feel to the Alps/Soundwell, but only 16 detents instead of 24.
