| Linda Chavda 28.06.2012 | I don't like to restart old threads, but does anyone know if its possible to purchase midi brains in the UK? |
| Shay Wyche 15.03.2011 | Sorry, I've been away for the weekend and completely forget to post the links. Buttons Pots Pioneer, Technics spares etc more buttons Alps faders Most of these links won't take to to exactly what you need, but to the correct store on Ebay. Do a little digging and you will find some good stuff, but remember about the postage. Everything I've bought from these stores I would recommend. The quality of of the parts is normally very good. |
| Carlena Dechand 13.03.2011 | Yeah i got my arcade buttons from gremlin through ebay aswell, I also picked up a couple of the maplin rotary pots to have a look at, Not sure if i should go for encoders now though!? |
| Pansy Shiveley 11.03.2011 | I bought from gremlinsolutions.co.uk for my arcade needs, not sure what other stuff they got |

| Willia Subotic 11.03.2011 | If you are looking for reliability, then go to a local record shop as they can order in parts as they commonly do repairs. I do this as I can't trust ebay as their are too many counterfeit parts on there / poorly manufactured. Also don't go anywhere near Maplins! Awful service when ordering an opto isolator for a non DJ related project and all the pins were bent and one was fully snapped off, plus all the components are poorly wired up (cheap, thin wire) and snaps off to easily when moving around parts. I bought all my arcade buttons from a Dutch computer arcade games supplier purely as I wanted to order Arc Eye 2 LED's PCB's thus saving on postage But ask at your local store as they may have a few parts lying about that will go for cheap. I.e. picked up 2 needle cartridges for my vinyl decks for 20 quid! |
| Arcelia Siebeneck 11.03.2011 | I've got several of both of those. The rotary pots are decent... ALPS potentiometer with (quite long) metal shafts (no centre indent though). The faders aren't as good - the stem/shaft is plastic and the feel isn't great. |
| Carlena Dechand 11.03.2011 | The ebay links would be good, cheers archie! I have been looking at the pots at maplins... too good to be true? http://www.maplin.co.uk/miniature-du...rdercode=JM85G http://www.maplin.co.uk/dual-miniatu...rdercode=JM81C |

| Shay Wyche 11.03.2011 | All are really expensive compared to EBay's specialist stores. I'll post a few up when I have time. |
| Carlena Dechand 11.03.2011 | Im just on my first build at the moment, Im going to try 16buttons, 2faders, 2rotary. I was just really looking for places that do the components. www.maplin.co.uk/ uk.farnell.com/ uk.rs-online.com/ Google gave me the above just wondered if any others were preferred. |
| Janyce Henningson 11.03.2011 | What you after mate, I got some stuff I bought for a build I never started, top quality as well - alps pots, encoders, panasonic faders etc... |
| Marnie Pomeranz 11.03.2011 | i use ebay for any and all parts |
