After much eBay and web surfing, I couldn't do any better than the $56 MPG, but no WAY I will pay $179 for a cheap plastic box with a couple switches and the encoder. I did set up a CNC4PC pendant for a guy, and I was not terribly impressed with the thing. My first homemade pendant is too big, and the switches are in the wrong place for one-handed operation (I was given a big MPG). My second one uses the smaller HEDSS encoder and works better.
