Where to buy "KeyWiz"?
<< < (6/16) > >>
Dougmeister:
Thanks.  That's a lot to think about.


--- Quote ---That auction has a "BuyItNow" price of $43.95.  You could order the same stuff from www.therealbobroberts.com for $37.60 ($1.45*12 for pushbuttons, $1.60*2 for start buttons, $8.50*2 for joysticks) and you could get whatever colors you wanted as well.  The trick to E-bay is knowing what stuff fetches in the private sector so you don't get ripped off.

But his shipping is $6 up to 1 lb, so other than picking my colors, it's really the same deal.

And do I want .25" or .187" Quick Disconnects?  And how many, 25 or 50?

You want female .187's with the red jacket (18-22 ga.) for buttons and joysticks, two per button or per joystick direction.  Coin doors usually require .250's, but .250's in small quantities are easy to find at Radio Shack, Home Depot or many auto part stores.

Of course.

I would rather pick my own colors than use the colors someone else picked for the same price.  Bob always throws in something free too, some Louisiana tradition :-)

Most of the Happ stuff uses .187, some of the joysticks use .25, but I don't know which ones offhand.  You need two Quick Disconnects per switch, so two for each button and eight for each joystick.

Also - points of msg. board etiquette.

1) Don't change the subject line - Lots of us get E-mailed of replies.  If I see "someone replied to Where to get a KeyWiz", I know what it's about.  If I see "Someone replied to Thanks", I think "I didn't post in a thread about Thanks" ???

2) It's probably better to start a new post than to edit the previous one to add new questions.  Lots of times people are replying while you're editing, and they'll read new posts, but might not go through previous ones.

Dougmeister:
Gotcha.  Sorry 'bout that.

This is what I'm thinking now.  I gotta save $ somewhere, so I think I need to hold off on the Happ or Omnistick joysticks.
