    I'm looking for the same. I have found several local vendors here in Norway, but they are too expensive. One valve = 130 Euro. I am trying to get valves from stc valves:
    yobuddy bought these: 4V230C-1/4 valves

    Dont forget that you have to use 5/3 1/8 MIDDLE CLOSED. This is important!

    I have tried to send STC an email, but the do not answer. Of course I could call them, but I got an answer from their distributor (where yobuddy bought from):

    I have a contact in NYC that could order them for me.

    Hi Rune,

    Welcome!

    No, unfortunatly those valves are middle open an for our purposes middle closed are required. Those Festo valves are marked with E for entlüftet, but you need G for geschlossen.
    Its a pity as they are really cheap^^

    For a spring supported sim they could be used. Perhaps someone should buy them. They cost nearly nothing ;)

    regards

    Thanks for the reply.

    Yes it would almost have been too good to be true, with that price...

    I'll keep looking.

    By the way, excellent forum, lots of info for a newbee like me.

    Best Regards.
