Were do I find gold plated phono and s-video jacks?
« on: August 05, 2009, 02:37:16 AM »
I don't know if I'm asking this at the right place but I'm looking for panel mount connectors exactly like these:

Can anyone help me find a reliable source for those? Thanks!

Try these guys.  Last time I ordered here, they had to backorder the yellow ones, but I got 'em eventually:

doh.

Quebec's a pretty big city isn't it?  No electronics stores around there anywhere?  Man, I'd kill to live in a big city with a good electronics store in driving range.

I'm actually in a smaller city than Quebec, (located in the province of Quebec) and used to do my components shopping in 2 local electronics shops but ended up realizing that I was paying much more if I bought there than on-line. A mod could cost me twice as much, and they often didn't have everything I was looking for in stock.

I still go there occasionally but they don't have gold plated RCA jacks nor gold plated chassis mount s-video connector. Radio-Shack has some standard gold plated phono jacks but they're asking 3$ a piece, which is around 3 times more than what I'm willing to pay for those.)

I'm also looking for these at a decent price.  I went to three electronics supply stores in California (not RadioShack), and found that gold-plated RCA jacks were indeed $3 apiece.

The Gold-Plated S-Video jack, i was told, would be an "online item" at around $5. I'm confident something will turn up online. If I find anything cheap enough I will follow up on this thread.

dunno about the s-video jack, but the link I posted before should be ideal for a californian.  They're in Santa Ana - $0.75/ea on the gold rca jacks.  ;-)
