Hey guys I really like the looks of this 5mm bezel.  Anyone know where I can get some in the US/North America?  If not I'm going to have to order from Europe...  to Hawaii...   :icon_redface:  Thanks in advance.

i'd like to know as well.  i know that mouser has 3 mm versions and allelectronics have some that are similar, but plastic.  i also know that i got some in "assembly" form in an assortment from electronics goldmine but they don't sell them separately.

I agree Mouser for 3 mm.
I've been buying stuff from a place called "Sure Electronics" on EBay.
They have lots of 100 of these for something like $4 but have rather high shipping.
All in all its a wash with it only being a little cheaper then Mouser.
They are in China, packages take about 10 days.  But they've never ripped me off and I'v bought maybe a dozen times from them.

those are the 3mm.  i believe he's looking for the 5mm.

Radioshack has assemblies with incandescent bulbs in them; it looks like they can easily be modded for LEDs.

Hey Dano, I actually saw an older post of yours referring to that and bought some.  I'm looking for 5mm with interchangable led's.  Those have a set red led.  Thanks though, they are really nice looking.  If there is no North American source, would you wanna split an order from banzai to save on shipping choklit?

choklitlove

fraid not.  shipping alone would be 37.50 euros.  that's over $50.

i think the best route might be to contact a member from Germany because they have the cheapest shipping by far. 

they're just not worth the shipping, or even half the shipping to me.

 Yeah, I got some of thhe Jameco ones too... very cool looking, but smaller than I expected. The 5mm version they have ain't the same thing, it's recessed, looks like the bezel ya can get from smallbear.

Gotta love that early star trek look... :D

Oh my I didn't even check out shipping costs.   50 bucks!~  I guess best bet is to ask a European member to pick some up on their next banzai order...

 Yep, that's the recessed kind I mentioned that smallbear and jameco carry... it ain't the same thing...

50 bucks shipping? WTF? I bought stuff from Olaf already, don't remember THAT kinda shipping. ::) If so, there's no way I'd a bought from him! Either something's wrong, or he must be excluding his 'new world' market... oh well...

Edit: OHHH- shipping to Hawaii! That makes just a little more sense, but still ridiculous!

the shipping i mentioned was for DHL, international.

i didn't see the other service which is actually only $7 international.  my bad.  that's a pretty good price!

looks like it would be about $25 altogether for 20 of those bezels.  PM me, calculating_infinity, if you're interested still.
