Very saddened and shocked to learn of Jurgen’s passing. The standard of his work, and his sheer productivity was a great inspiration to me and many others. As someone else has commented, he had that ...

Hi guys - I was just wondering if anyone has a list of the "hard to source" parts used in the MOTM ultraVCO & how many of each? I was partcularly worried about the matched FET pairs - is ...

Hi Jurgen - will you be making the Main Board available for order separately, as I already have two Tau boards from you that I'd like to use?

Hey, those are really nice! The only trouble is that the listed UK representative seems to be an aircraft supplier, so I guess that they might be very expensive Sad

Thanks guys - momentary is fine (will be reading with a micro, so not a problem). I really need through panel mounting as I don't want to have to use a board behind, although I guess I might have to g ...

Hi folks - I'm looking for some nice round small illuminated panel-mounting push button switches. All the stuff I've been able to find so far looks either a bit clunky, or too automotive. Any ideas ? ...
