Big score at a local electronics store.

[Gledison]

I am the only person that is allowed to browse this little out of business electronics store. So I get to cherry pick from TONS of new old stock stuff.

Today I got a crazy deal on some bulk transistors and this-and-that.

Starting off with 1000 1n4005, NTE germs, GE brand 2n170, 2n2160, GE-X10, about 1500 ECG123a transistors, about 1000 ECG128 transistors, a box of mallory axial caps(LOTS more where that came from) and lil bits and pieces.

Sooo! I guess after making everybody jealous you might feel bad and put some of this stuff as a gift for the next  monthly build comprtition.... Am i right? ;P

Nice score mike, I would have done the same

[the3secondrule]

those old parts are probably passed their used by date... the electrons will be pretty stale by now

you might as well send them to me 

[culturejam]

That is awesome.

I just breadboarded this lil Si fuzz face with the ECG128 and it sounds pretty darn good. I changed the 22uf cap on the lugs of the fuzz pot to 100uf and it brightened it up a bit to my liking.   * Messed with the bias of Q2 and it changed it to how I like.



I'll have a sale thread soon for those who want to try em.

Cool Stash dude!

That should keep you going for a while!

When you get locked into a serious transistor collection, the tendency is to take it as far as you can.

Huge score!    I just got 13 unopened boxes of NOS Mallory film caps for $8.   

The 'regular ohm' lady said she would do  $1.50 a box........  I love her math skills. 

[haveyouseenhim]

The nice thing is that they all measure well within spec.







Sale thread coming soon....

Dammit man! Are they all huge?

I will take a handful of each thanks.
