Title: Speaking of expensive Ebay parts.....
Post by: mickc on March 06, 2015, 04:10:38 AM
I'm all for using OEM parts where possible, but this could be a bit too expensive.... 

Remember this is just for the keypad!

Just imagine, you could buy 8 fully working and complete CDUs from FDS for the same money.  ;D ;D And they'd look nicer!

I make offers and put lots of comments in as well how overpriced their non trace parts are.  Usually gets me a 1cent off counter offer but at least I feel better!!!  ;D
