I'm sure this has been discussed before but....
Where do people find reasonable prices on polarized plugs (female and male) for SPT-1 cord?
I have two basic needs:
1. "Inline" - I've seen the ones that go "inline" but the prices are quite steep if you ask me. What is considered a good price for these?
2. Cord ends - Do others simply buy inexpensive extension cords and use the male/female ends? (If your not doing "inline")
The reason I'm asking is because I thought it would be nice to "chop" up a string of plastic snow flakes dressed with minis and place each snowflake on its own channel, others must have thought of this too. Or simply making a run of SPT-1 cord useable.
Thanks in advance.
Regarding the SPT1 plugs and sockets, I'm not sure what you consider reasonable or "quite steep", but... During CDI's presale, they are only 52 cents each. Male, Female, or Inline Seems cheap enough to me.
I used to convert the females to inlines as mentioned above, but last season I was going to need about 70 of those things. I started converting std females, then said screw it. Taking too much time, ordered 100 from Paul at CDI, went on to doing other stuff, and 2 days later the inlines arrived.
I now keep several hundred inlines in inventory along with the M and F. Since they are the same price and I know I'll be using them from time to time, why not?
After CDI's presale is over, the regular price is 60 cents, but put "PC2010" in the discount box, and the price drops to 54 cents each.
