thanks Nicholas. we have an rs components here in Australia but £6 is about $18 from me and i want to get about 20 of them. as i am on an artist wage, i don't need high precision stuff. i'm sure there must be some where i can get one that is cheaper. if anyone can give me model numbers and/or brands of cheap solenoids that would help my search, as thus far i am still looking at 10-20 bucks each for a simple push solenoid.
thanks all for your suggestions. tom On 7/24/07, nicholas ward <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In the UK they are available from www.rswww.co.uk . Search for > miniature solenoids.
