Switch-Jacks!
Hollyday Designs stopped making and selling Switch-Jacks in April, 2002. But that doesn't mean the products are gone forever. We gave a lot of time to the development of the switches, and now everyone can benefit by adding in their own time and effort to obtain parts and build them yourself.
Due to the high volume of Hollyday Designs purchasing of these parts, those which were once special order items are now published in their print catalog. You should have no trouble getting the parts you need from Mouser. Their service and prices are excellent.
New! Shredair
is manufacturing the finished switches now! Thank you, Shredair.com! Hollyday Designs is
not associated with Shredair in any way. Dieter is using the Switchcraft parts for his
switches, called "chips" or ChPS - (Charge Plug Switches). The quality of all
Shredair products is excellent, and so is the service. Give them a try.
