Title: metal on/off switches?
Post by: kip.duff on December 04, 2017, 04:31:30 PM

I'm building a BeePre and an Eros.  Are there any alternatives for the on/off power input switch that fit in that hole?  I would like to get something more solid, metalic- like the old-school metal toggle switches.

I haven't seen any metal switches that fit.  You could measure out all the holes on the chassis plate and get a new one cut with a round power switch.

For what it's worth, the oldest piece of Bottlehead gear that I have is a Foreplay preamp from the mid 1990s, and the plastic power switch still works great.

Ya- I figured you guys wouldn't use it if it were'nt a pretty decent part.  I just like the look and feel of a metal switch.
