Any recommendation for a quality SCART rgb switch / selector?

Hiya!

Connecting lots of scart equipment is a pain in the a$$ each time you need to change the machine in use , is there a normal priced rgb scart switch? With 4-5 inputs and 1 output? All I can find in eBay are the usual crappy 10-15$ ones, that give horrible results...
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I have a few manual SCART swtich boxes which look just like the picture here:

Three input, one output, and audio in/out. Mine were sold under the Philips brand (not that it means much) and solid build quality.  They switch video -- all four lines, audio, even pins 8 and 16.

I bought one on Ebay which looked similar but it turned out to be really dodgy inside. Hot glue, connectors held up by bits of plastic, all hand soldered, really crap. I think it was wired up the same way as the Philips one but don't really remember. I didn't keep it.

Avoid the unswitched types (can damage equipment) and the cheap auto switching types (they don't switch when you want them to).

I have one similiar what Viletim showed, with crappy build quality... I resoldered all connectors and it works fine

Yeah philips stuff is always top quality. But if you want even better look at keene electronics 4 to 1 switchbox. Mine's even got an aux VGA output (yes it passes rgb out the aux vga port!), audio output phono sockets, a remote, and it's automatic (makes the remote useless for me). Only downside is they're really expensive (too expensive in my opinion). A kind soul sold me his/hers from europe on the avs forums for about $45 bucks with shipping included (what a deal!) and delivered it to me stateside! Said it was just sitting in their attic not being used (and lost the remote + power supply) and that I could buy it!

I have one that looks identical to that and I've had no issues with it. Decent build quality.

I did get this one:



quality is fine, I only get a small distortion now and then , but the 1.5m scart-scart cable I use to connect the switch to the tv is low quality... have ordered a better 50cm now
