May 8, 2019 at 7:28 pm #125183zykanMembermany years later ….
same happened to me. need this switch and had no luck with ehx costumer service … mouser stacks hundreds of different dpdt slide switches of about the same size … any hints ?May 9, 2019 at 12:49 am #125189EHX STAFFKeymasterPlease write service
info@ehx.comMay 15, 2019 at 9:00 am #125223zykanMemberdid that. two times … unfortunately i did not get any response. i wrote at least 10 times in the last years and never ever got any response actually. to be fair, it was always about rare, vintage pieces
like a momentary push button for the super replay or drm 15 schematics etc
this slider switch drives me crazy because i tried several times with no luck. dpdt, 2 pole etc. i disabled the broken switch but – it was broken (: spent like an hour at mouser too …
i am close to stick in just any switch and cover the mess with some tape :ahhh:cheers !
May 15, 2019 at 2:06 pm #125224EHX STAFFKeymasterWow sorry I wonder if you fell into spam email?
EHX does not repair or have parts for the vintage pedal as as that original factory is long gone.
Did you try small bear electronics?
http://smallbear-electronics.mybigcommerce.com/May 15, 2019 at 5:28 pm #125226zykanMemberthanks !
i am far from hoping for spares but i hoped for part numbers, schematics etc
and i tried smallebear and a couple of other sites over the years – mostly without success.
just love my og ehx big boxes and try to maintain them carefully.
thanks for helping again !
best
matthiasMay 16, 2019 at 8:26 am #125231ScruffieMemberWhat’s wrong with these? http://smallbear-electronics.mybigcommerce.com/alpha-dpdt-slide/
Smallbear also carries these http://smallbear-electronics.mybigcommerce.com/potentiometer-cts-slide-for-old-micro-synth/ which should be suitable for the vintage 16 second, I’ve used them in other vintage EHX without problem.
May 16, 2019 at 9:49 am #125232zykanMemberthanks for the links !
but i need the a sliding switch with the cap? in a 90 degree angle.
(if you know what i mean). i desolderd the broken switch, took all meassurements and compared it with quite a lot of datasheets on mousser with no i will now stop bering a nerd about this and just use something that kind of fits closely.
cheersMay 16, 2019 at 1:27 pm #125233ScruffieMemberNo, sorry, I’m not sure what you mean, if you send me a picture I might be able to help.
May 16, 2019 at 2:36 pm #125234zykanMembera little like this:
May 16, 2019 at 3:05 pm #125235ScruffieMemberOhhh, for the reissue 16 second, I thought you meant a vintage model. No, I don’t know what specific size it needs then.
May 16, 2019 at 3:48 pm #125239zykanMembersorry for the mix up. this thread was started by someone else long time ago. and he asked about the 16 sec reissue (stated in the first post). so i chimed in …
funny enough all my older big box ehx stuff works perfect. even sliders on the sequencer … only part i would love to find is the red momentary switch as in the instant replay and the super replay. both work but i would love use this to replace at least the recording switch in the 16 sec delay for smoother action … thanks again -
