Just started using the Cust Part Number field when ordering components from Mouser.

I placed MY reference number in the field which is basically the abbreviated project ID and the component number.  When I get the parts, the packet label has my part number reference on it.  Makes for an easy way to split up my parts when they arrive.  I think DigiKey has this too!

If you parts supplier has this field it's a handy tool. 

I'm sure the pedal building vets already know about this but for us newbies this is a godsend! 

These are some parts for the Matsumin Tube and power filters.



:D

ayayay!

Digikey has something similar.  It's saved me tons of time when ordering. 
The people who work for a living are now outnumbered by those who vote for a living.
