Sourcing parts for Echo Base in Europe

[grrrunge]

Hi all!

I want to build an echo base (http://musicpcb.com/pcbs/echo-base-delay/), and i'm having a bit of trouble finding some parts from distributors in europe.

First: the PCB is from the US, and i guess there's not much to do about that
Second: i have only seen the PT2399 available from smallbearelec, again in the US. (http://www.smallbearelec.com/Detail.bok?no=263)

My issue here is that for every order i recieve from US i have to pay 25%VAT (not really a problem), but i'll also have to pay a handling fee, which is around $35. That way the pt2399 alone is going to cost me about $40 plus shipping to Denmark. The PCB will be another $53 plus shipping.
Are there any european distributors who carry the PT2399?

Third: I don't know a whole lot about IC's yet. Are the following 4066 chips suitable for use in the Echo Base, and are some characteristics more important than others here?

http://dk.farnell.com/on-semiconductor/mc14066bcpg/ic-4000-cmos-4066-dip14-15v/dp/9664700
Also, the bill of material says "bilateral switch", and the 4066's readily availabe here says CMOS. Does that make a difference?

Fourth: How about this one for the 7805: http://dk.farnell.com/fairchild-semiconductor/lm7805ct/ic-v-reg-5-0v-7805-to-220-3/dp/1102157

Fifth: Transistors:
Farnell lists BC548 as a readily available alternative to a 2N5089. Acceptable?
I already have a bunch of MPSA18's lying around. Can i use them instead of both 2N5089 and BC560?

Anything else should be piece of cake  Thanks in advance guys!

I found my PT and 4066 chips here...

...and have been happy to go back for other components.

You could always try eBay, but I'm with 'tweek' on this one.

The Transistors in the Echobase are simply used for switching (if memory serves...), so the Transitor part numbers are not mandatory - I used a BC560C (much higher gain than the BC560 specified - and it works perfectly).
As always when subbing components, have a quick search for the datasheets for both the original, specified part, and the part you intend to use.

hi,

for Europe,I recommend musikding.de. They have most of the stompbox stuff You need, and shipping is reasonable, especially when you do not order big stuff like enclosures.
