Re: Substitutions or Sourcing components


Hans Summers
 

Keytronics has 10MHz xtals at ?1.00 each (ten required)
and the 2N3866 seems to be obsolete. Do others see any
difficulties in sourcing parts.
I'm confused about the 2N3866 - what's it for? I see no mention on the
circuit diagram; the nice thing is that a variety of transistors will do in
this design.

Rapid Electronics () sell 10MHz crystals at
?0.38 each (?0.45 incl sales tax). That drops to ?0.305 (?0.36 incl VAT) for
QTY 25+. If enough people want them I'd be happy to order a batch and parcel
them out. People who are interested in 10, let me know within the next few
days and maybe we'll sort it out sometime next week. Assuming 25+, the price
would be ?3.86 for 10 including a 1st class UK postage stamp (overseas
postage stamp, extra).

Ok look, I'm not going into the kit business but while we're at it, if you
want them (also from Rapid):

25 BC547B's suitable for the rig: ?0.82 incl VAT
1 IRF510: ?1.53 incl VAT

Presumably the total weight will be under 60g so these will all fit under
the same single ?0.28 postage stamp.

So, for a LIMITED TIME ONLY... Crystals, transistors and the MOSFET, ?6.21
incl UK postage (overseas is fine, we just add the extra postage).
