[sdiy] source of cheap 1/4" plugs?

[James Thompson]

Hey Chris,
 You need to get your hands on an MCM Electronics catalog.

Sign on as a guest, do a product search and click on the sku #.

 Incidently, as well as Newark Electronics,
(the company I wrote about in my previous post on front panels to Merv Thomas)
 they are also a Farnell company.

Their cheapee 1/4" jack part # 27-040 is $1.29.

Good luck

Jim

I''ve gotten a patch panel to use with my rack full of gear, and now I need 
to figure out how to get it all cabled cheaply, since the number of 3 foot 
patch cables I need would probably cost me around $1500 at guitar center. 
I've got a big roll of small coax that's the right size (I know it's rather 
stiff, but it was also free, and these cables are almost never going to be 
unplugged and never coiled since they're in the back of a rack.)

I figure I need about 150 mono plugs, and maybe 25 stereo for footswitches 
etc. I know that buying new retail switchcraft is too expensive, so I'm 
wondering what else is available.
