Electronic DIY Experts - Please help in my pedalboard build

[edgie]

Hi guys,
Would you know where in Singapore could I find a reliable source for these:
1. Mogami 2528 - http://www.redco.com/shopexd.asp?id=492&bc=no
2. 2.1mm Kobiconn plugs - http://sg.mouser.com/Power/DC-Power-...z0vlpqZ1z0wxf2
3. RCA plugs just like the ones in Cioks power supply units - http://best-tronics.com/mm5/merchant...Code=RCA_PLUGS


I have looked up this items and each belongs to a different online distributor. Meaning if I buy online the shipping will kill me for just a few items. e.g. 10 Kobiconn plugs from Mouser.com that costs 15-16usd will fetch a minimum shipping charge of 30usd. Definitely not worth it. The only one worth ordering online is the Mogami 2528 which will only incur a 10usd shipping charge.

So please if you can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated. I'm thinking of going to Sim Lim Tower and Sim Lim Square but I'd like to know which are the reliable shops given the stigma that some cheating shops have given to that area.

RCA plugs in sim lim tower should be quite readily available, most shops are ok in sim lim tower i guess, especially for items such as RCA plugs they wont be able to cheat much out of you. U can try sunshine electronics, should be @ 3rd floor if im not wrong.

The monami cable may u can try Luthermusic custom cable shop @ peninsula plaza, it would be better if u call n check if they have the cable first

The dc power jack also can get from sim lim tower, sunshine electronics should have too

hope ive helped

Yes, you've helped a lot, thanks man. I also got a recommendation from a friend to go to JHS at the 2nd floor. Will check both shops this week.

@relinquish69: I've asked them about the mogami 2528. They said they don't have it.

Well, I'm already at the deep end of my GAS expenses with my board and pedals so I don't really mind paying more for quality cables and plugs. But of course, the prices should still be reasonable. haha.
