8, 14 and 16 pin DIL sockets for chips,  and SIL sockets for transistors, resistors, caps, etc. I dont often use trimmers but the ones I've used the most is 5K and 100K.

If you can afford it, have a look and try to buy enough parts for 3 or 4 future builds. Will save you a lot of money in the long run due to postage costs.

Just add some of each from Tayda.  I'd just omit the 50 ohm, 100 ohm and 200 ohm values and buy more of the 5k, 10k, 50k, 100k's

I absolutely agree with this. Normally the trimmers are so overpriced that I hesitated to buy them. But the prices on these from Tayda are great and they work perfectly. So, I stocked up on pretty much every value. I'm glad I did too. They show up all over the place.
