Hey all,

Resistors
Caps
Pots
Perfboard
Wire
Jacks
Sockets
battery snaps

already have an iron and solder and am going to wait on a box until i like the effect.

Let me know!

Thanks

3PDT or DPDT's...yer probly gonna want some of these.
 Boxes...you know this. [?]
 something to hold, like a third hand, I suggested sticking the iron in a bricks hole [that's what I do], this frees your 'other' hand to make clean approaches and retreats with the soldering iron. Some forumites wrote they tried the brick technique and liked it, I prepondered both ways [third hand being the other way] and decided The bricked' iron is better in some ways..that's opinion.
 I use a deluxe' [lol] soldering jig with a 4'' exhause fan and 4'' tube to get the fumes away from my face...this works real good with a stationary iron [like in the brick]. I put a light in a med cardboard box, poked a 4'' hole for the vaccumm tube to come in, the tube goes to the other room, I'd prefer it went outside, but the other room is a storage place for boxes...better on the boxes than up my nose...I used flexi tube like for basement waterproofing [hardware stores have it].
 I use the wire cutters and thin needle nose pliers all the time. A good set of multi guage wire de-insulators would be a good thing I don't have.

Ok i finally placed some orders.

Stocked up on some things and the total order came to around 150 from 3 diff places :-P

I was looking for a pair of those multi gauge wire strippers but i couldnt find anyones that i liked.

I picked up

Resistors
Caps
Pots
Battery Snaps
Sockets
Knobs
Switches
Jacks
Wire
Perfboard

One question. What the use of the hookup wire? I assume we use the shielded Coaxial wire for the signal path?

i just use plain stranded copper wire in most cases, ususally 22 or 24 gauge - sheilding is overkill ususally, except in super high gain circuits...as long as the box is sheilded.

I recommend adding a breadboard to your list. I couldn't live without mine.
