they don't have a small price break at 10, but 200 have gone from $4 to $2.80

Just noticed this last night. I am quite happy! I've been slowly replacing all my carbon film with metal.

Thanx for info. I am about to restock many values.

(ps: change subject from "trans.." to "res..")

Cheers
Yes i still have Blüe Monster pcb-s for sale!

...and checkout: https://moodysounds.se/

Awesome!  It's going to be a lot easier to justify grabbing 200 of the values when you get a 30% discount on top of the original price break

Well it's payed off that I've been lazy with stocking my bench  ;D I'll get round to doing the order soon  ::)
I build stuff for myself, sometimes I do 1 offs, I label them as HornBlende Audio.

i just took advantage of this myself, it's now $3.20CND for 200 for fellow canucks fyi

Even more reason to stock up and toss the tayda resistors! The Tayda leads are so thin it is almost impossibe to cut them with my dikes. I guess I could also toss the cheap Chinese dikes and get a real pair!  ;D

I've since started using an Xcelite I got with a soldering iron deal, but that Hakko is pretty good for the money.

I second that!  I love my CHP-170s.  Been great so far.  They are available on Amazon for $4.37 (including free Prime shipping for members).

I've slowly been upgrading my "Tayda" parts to quality Mouser stuff.  If I known I'd be this deep in the hobby I would have probably gone Mouser/Digkey/Newark/Smallbear/BLMS all the way.  There is not that big of a price jump between Tayda and Mouser when you order in quantity.  So far, got all electros changed to Kemet/Nichicon/Panasonic, all film caps are now Panasonic ECQ-v. With the new price break on resistors @ Mouser I have been upgrading all my 1/4w to Xicon as well.
