That's it! I am no longer going to be lazy! I'm going to order samples NOW

Ge_wiz - yes, but the fact that TI is willing to pay for next day air shipping seems kinda crazy...

Where can I get samples of resistors and caps? Sorry, I'm cheap  

I don't think anyone is gonna sample resistors and caps. There;s nothing to experiment with in that sense...

man, i just ordered mosfet, jfet and darlington samples from onsemi.

I feal like i'm stealing from them lol.  Maybe I shouldn't max out the quantities anymore.

has anyone found a company that ships to Australia...for free?

I need 2n5088s dag nabbit.

I just ordered 30ea of 4 things from KOA Speer.  Their max is 50ea of 10 things.   :shock:

On the KOA Speer site, what's the "KSE Representatives, KSE Distributors & Contract Manufacturers (Only)" form for? Do you just plug your info into that??

I just left it blank.  I got a confirmation email so I guess everything went through alright.   :?

anyone find any free Ge trannies?

hello there,  i don't quite understand the part number system at the Koa speer site---looking to get some free metal film resistors.  i don't see any example catalog numbers to go by either. can one of you guys help me out with this?   thanks       rh

hey bobble,
i just got a confirmation of samples from TI, national - and im awaiting conformation from switchzone.
hope this helps and ill let you know when (if) all this stuff gets here.
i also ordered some leds and pots, so we'll see how they go too.

What would be cool if someone can put together an entire pedal made from free samples. Even an enclosure and jacks.

Then give it away to someone.  :lol:

workign on it :roll:

If anyone's used KOA Speer for Resistors, could you kindly tell me how the hell you decipher the part number system?  I know its in the PDF, but the only area I have a problem in is the resistance part of the part number.

Hal, agreed, but I guess that, just occasionally, nice things happen.

Holy sh*t :mrgreen:

Quote from: MRTelecAnyone know of any photocell manufacturers?  I'd like to get a few samples to fool around with.

Texas instruments has some light-controlled voltage generating chips. Pretty cool for stuff like twin T wahs Check out their OPT101 chip
