Question... Are these things OK?

I thought I remembered somebody complaining about these shorting out on enclosures... but I could be wrong.

You would be correct about them shorting out, these are what you want.

Double the price, but hey, they're in stock!

Don't know where you're located, but Banzai has them as well (and way before others started carying them!)

I think Smallbear is a bit cheaper, but I'd have to check the exact dollar/euro rate and shipping etc.....

Musikding also has them in Europe, and their shipping fees are lower than Banzai & smallbear (which is definitely not the best option due to the way they calculate shipping costs).

I'm in NY, and I don't really want to pay 1.25 per... dang.

That's closer to the normal price for these. The BLMS price was outrageously low and I'm not totally convinced his were real Lumberg ones or just a clone. Note that the Musikding price is .95 euros, which is $1.27. Jameco was also close to that much. FWIW, these are totally worth it for 1590A builds. You can do side DC jacks with them with the body of the jack on top of 9mm pots.

I don't want normal pricing. I want it all for free.

Thanks for the headsup.

Just a heads-up about these - Of the ones I got from BLMS, 8 out of 10 were unusable because the OD of the center post varied so much. All the ones I've gotten from Smallbear have been fine.
