Hi Phil (& Everyone Else),

I'm trying to find a set of good working BZ controllers. I know I'll never
find any reasonably priced in great shape, but all I really need is new
microswitches. I've looked around on the net, but havn't found any yet. Does
anyone know a good place to get new Cherry E18 switches? I've rigged up some
standard ones, but it's really tacky.

Hope someone can help,

-Al-

PS - I could use a less rusty CP too.
