I assume you are refferring to the 0.187" Female QD's for button microswitches. You are correct, Radio Shack does sell them, but their stores only sell the assortment type packs, and you may only get 4 or 5 of the ones you need. You could try Radio Shacks online ordering, and you might could track down what you need (online sells much more than stores). Another spot you could try, is Happ Controls (25 dollar minimum order). Plus, try Bob Roberts @ http://personal.msy.bellsouth.net/msy/b/o/bob147/

Those can be tricky to find if there isn't an electronics store, or a small independent hardware store that collects them. Stay away from the Radio Shack assortment packs.. they'll end up costing you a fortune.

: find are the 22 gauge ones and their to big. Radio Shack sells the only in small
