Where to get parts?

Post by Dr.Weasel »

Ok this question is kind of weird but my parents arnt really keen on buying anything over the internet because they are afraid they are going to get their credit card number stolen. So... i was wondering if anybody knows of anything like a toy or product of something that i could get tact switches out of. Or even better if anybody lives in northern utah and knows of anyother stores besides radioshack that sells electronic parts.

How do they steal your credit card number over the internet? That is pretty dumb that they think people would steal your credit card number. Sorry if this is offensive to you or your parents.

Buy an old VCR from a thrift store, or see if a local computer repair center has any broken CD drives they're just going to throw away. (there are tact switches behind the buttons.)

Pretty much any switch that has a definite "click" and a short travel distance stands a good chance of hiding tact switches.

Or you could see if the places you want to order from will also accept C.O.D, checks, money orders, or cash by Western Union...
