"Flat are you looking for these parts? Why don't you get them from either Digi-key or Mouser"
Well I guess you have not looked at their site.
Futurlec, The Electronic Components and Semiconductor Superstore
You can't beat their prices + low shipping and no minimum.
Such as:
300 1/4W 5% Carbon Film Resistors in mixed values. $2.45
Multimeter with two temp. probes $5.95 (I don't expect it to be great)
Yes, the list (and a few more) are parts I'm considering to order from Futurlec.
I don't know what wire sizes are handy to have on hand for coils.
I guess 30, 28, and 24. These I'll get locally.
I want to try to find a European supplier for Amidon or equivalent.
Hopefully in Holland.
