Howdy-

Yesterday, I performed (correctly, on my first try, thank you very much!) a region mod on my US Turbo Duo, using an 8PDT switch from Surplus Sales of Nebraska:

1st column, 6th row


Alas, this product doesn't come with the nut to secure it to a panel (or, in my case, the back of my Duo).  The threads seems to be a non-standard size.  My calipers tell me that it's an M12x0.7 thread, but M12 nuts & bolts come in a 1.75mm pitch.

Anybody have a source for these nuts?

In the meantime, I've got some E-clips that I can use to secure the switch to the panel, but they're not the prettiest or easiest solution...


Thanks,
-Jason

PS--I bought 2 switches, in case I killed the switch during the mod.  Also, shipping was $7 minimum, so I figured I'd buy 2 at $5.50 each & pay shipping just once.  In any case, I'll sell the extra unused switch for $7 shipped anywhere in the US.  (I know, that plug should be in a sales forum--sorry!   :oops:
