[trebejo]

I  the temptation to post this, necrology is not to my taste, but good suppliers from The Big Country are so good to find... nonetheless, my apologies to the necro-averse.

Good ones and good supplier

Thank you so much for this, you have saved me much doubt and hesitation.

Alas, ebay links are not permanent...is the supplier called panpa1688? I found it by searching for that "10set-5color" title and it was still intact. I would post the apparent current version (USA) of that ebay link, but then...

Ok, but like I said, not permanent: https://www.ebay.com/itm/284616540836 .

I would be tempted to just go for this style instead, very strong springs: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001072043961.html
Even the genuine ones are not terribly expensive, but they may not be easily available outside of europe.
Although I do like the angled entry part.

These also look interesting https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32872176812.html
