New mechanical switches for ST/STE/TT/Falcon

Post by mikro »

Backround story here: https://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.p ... 48#p488248.

Now the important part: as you can imagine, I didn't buy 100 pieces just for myself but for anyone who needs the switch for the same reason as I do (an idiot who isn't brave enough to disassemble and most importantly, re-assemble the original switch). I'm offering the switch (which should be compatible not only with the MegaSTE/TT PSUs but also usable in all other ST/STE/Falcon PSUs) for 10 EUR + postage fees (from Australia :D).

It isn't the lowest I can do but I want to avoid people purchasing them for low prices and put them on eBay for ... 10+ EUR. Btw, Exxos is selling his last three pieces for ~13 EUR so I think my price is fair.

Just put your nick & number of switches you'd like here in this thread. There's no deadline but I'd appreciate if people sign up in groups so I don't have to go to the post office 80 times. ;)

Great find!

How does the action compare to the original? I love the falcon black switches. Easy and very smooth action.

Has anyone actually fitted one to a STF/STE PSU frame to confirm they actually fit?

Useless trivia - What's listed in stock in the store doesn't hardly ever reflect actual stock levels.

I'm about to receive my Falcon & TT so I'll let you know later. But the touch felt very smooth and, well, new.

I still haven't managed to replace the switch but they are really smooth. That reminds me that I should really do it now. :)

So if anyone has got a switch in their ST/STE/MegaST/MegaSTE/TT/Falcon PSU which is stuck and/or arcing, just drop me a PM with the number of pieces requested and your address + email.

Price as stated above, 10 EUR/piece + postage fees from Australia (usually around 10 EUR). Paypal as family&friends or EU IBAN wire transfer.
