Good source for inexpensive solenoid valves?

[fuper]

Hey all - does anyone know where i can get my hands on 3 way solenoid valves? I'll be using compressed air, up to 50-60 psi.

I can find them new for about 20 dollars. I've not found a good surplus site that sells them. I tried looking at washing machine solenoids but those all seem to be 30 bucks or so and would have to be hacked on a bit to use.

Thanks!

I've never seen them for much less than $20 anywhere. I check Surplus Center often, but have never seen any really good deals.

I've had really good luck with Ebay...I look for lots (groups) or whole assemblies...for pneumatics you can get dump valve with lockout, inline solenoid, nice large filter bowl, oil/mist filter, and regulator all connected right off some industrial machine, etc.

Best of luck!
