[i2i]

[GeorgeD]

No real local supplies to me, there used to be a real nice unit on an industrial estate near me, you know a "REAL NICE" unit they did the stuff you could only dream of all the obscure stuff and if he didnt have it, he could get it, been in the buisness since valves and one day i went for a rummage, and the guy in the unit next door came out and said "Hey mate that old geeza snuffed it about 3 months ago, its a shame you didnt come a fortnight ago.. they skipped the lot!!!...:surprised: 6 bloody skips full " well lets just say i was very unhappy..:cry: Can you imagine how many electronics components it must take to fill 6 skips!!!!!!!!!!

so fleabay is the place I visit first Because im a bit lazy where stuf like that is concerned...:whistling:

[irving2008]

Farnell is still my supplier of choice now I have got over the £20 min order, still most price competitive... then RS, Cricklewood Electronics, Rapid, Digikey

[i2i]

Rick, i thought of you today as i removed a front panel from a boxford 240 lathe, all those lovely switches never to be used again......lol
