If shipping is too pricey (I am not sure where you stay) you could always try ebay... many of the places do free shipping for small stuff like this...I bought DPDT switches for R30 each free shipping... not sure how the quality would compare to the mantech ones... I was quoted R120 for a salvaged footswitch from a broken pedal from a reputable music shop... so I told em to go jump (because the distributor of that pedal would supply me a NEW switch for R100 ex vat)... so I turned to ebay and found a solution there... lol

The best way to buy from Mantech is to place an order online, and collect from their office - about 2 minutes drive from the Wemmer Pan N17 offramp or the Rissik street M1 offramp

Hi Gwydion

Did you find switches? I have a couple for you if you need.

Mantech do not have 3 pole. And their 2 pole switches are unreliable. I get mine (the so called "Blue switch") from USA - either General Guitar Gadgets or Small Bear electronics. SB stock PC mount versions as well. Prices are about US$5 plus postage & duty - so order your spares for or new Wha inductors too! There is a way of adding LED switching with a DPDT switch but you will need a Darlington transistor (which Mantech DO have) and a 100Meg Ohm resistor which I have so far NOT found in Cape Town and currently source from Small Bear. The circuit for the ingenious Darlington switcher is used in one of Small Bears kits if you poke around on their web site. Hope this helps

PS Yebo have 2 pole switches too but they are not so durable - I had one disintegrate in my hand while lightly bending a terminal with my finger!
