The foot switch on my smoke machine is somewhat dead - after opening it and having a jab around I can seem to make it want to work.
Thus I need a replacement, the manufactures don't sell them seperately so I need to find an alternative. As it happens the switch that died wasn't the one that came with the machine anyway, so I know that anything that has the same function will work.
I need a basic switch that has a KETTLE LEAD type connection. Lot's of the ones on ebay are designed for guitar amps, they would be perfect but for the jack type connector.
Any advice?
DIY electronics help needed
Can't you recycle the old connector/cable?
