swiss Elma switches in switzerland?

[myleftear]

Hi

I am interested in one of these gorgeous Elma-switches.
But their representant, distrelec, only sells the basic models.

It seems that, if I can't resist, I have to either import a swiss product, or find alternatives like seiden, DACT, or similar.
Ironic isn't it?

Is there really no DIY-friendly dealer ich switzerland?

thanks
david

Believe me,it is no better here in North America. I have contacted both the Canadian and American distributors without any success. It seems to me that Elma has no interest in actually selling switches anywhere.Maybe they are just a front for a money laundering operation

Georg, thank you.

Yeah, hifi-collective is cool, with sexy parts all over....
Of course I tried to politely ask them first—no answer.
I think it's a bit unfriendly, and I feel tempted to get funky japanese ware instead

Hi David

Sometimes it seems that companies do not want to sell their products ...
Alternatively you can see this switch from C&K, it is neither Swiss nor European but it is of good quality and at more moderate prices.
