For example, my birthday is next week, an international holiday so there will probably be a sale.

Yeah, it should be a fun way to kill some time and make room in the office/studio/workshop. Shipping is the thing I’m most curious about with the smaller items. Most people seem to be charging around $5 for shipping but unless there’s some kind of special eBay rate, I’m seeing $8–10 on Pirate...

Anyone here sell on eBay? I’m curious if it’s worth the hassle. I bought a couple of large lots of random electronic stuff, some cool stuff but mostly ham radio stuff, logic chips, and other oddball components that aren't useful to me. I was going to just sell the excess locally as a big lot...

Hey!

I think the Tube Reamer and Tube Schemer need to do a joint project !

True easy mod to my exisiting. But how much cooler would I be if I had 2....

Clever! The real question is do I mod mine or get a second.....

Make sure to check other sizes are well. When I started I got an electrolytic that was WAY too big despite being the 2.5mm spacing.

Are you doing any breadboarding? That helped connect (some of) the dots for me.

I have been using printed copies of schematics, marking them up. I guess more so I am looking for ways to document the changes and the why. Still learning and while I understand the changing a value does, I have to hear it to fully get it. Also, learning what pairings I like and what I don't...

Hello there! I’m notoriously unorganized when left to my own devices, it gets bad fast. That said I actually do really well when there’s a structure in place. My parts inventory system is pretty dialed in with formulas tracking stock levels, auto generated shopping lists, backlog builds and...

I almost think it is like a car, unless it has been stored properly for decades of nonuse, things are going to be an issue. As people have mentioned, rubber and plastic bits caps etc.

It’s to the US. The only options I’ve ever had with Tayda are 2-4 days via air or 30+ days by boat. I don’t recall the last time boat was available honestly.

Tree Fiddy! Yes, they were sold as "Germanium (GE) Diodes"

Probably. BUT I paid for one, got another...... that leaves a bad taste.

This is a brick and mortar business in a different state. So, we all know what time it is! (While the prompt didn't give me the full "Karen" hair cut, nor looks like me, I have to keep it with the third helping hand, so usedful in building circuits)

Hello there - I ordered some Germanium 1n34 online from a brick and mortar store, and something isn't quite adding up. Did some testing and here is what I saw: Fv .409v Leakage 12.1 nA Cap 9 pf Right away saw the forward voltage is high, diving in more the leakage is low from what I am...

Seeing that shipping rate, I figured a large chunk of the cost was weight and size of the enclosures. $600 for 550 transistors comes out the same price. 2-3lbs in a small box vs 2 25lbs boxes?

That is what I am thinking as well, just having an Akro to the side. On my desk, I have room for 3 across and I have stacked a 4th on top of one. So a total of 2-64 drawer and 2-44 drawers units. I am just REALLY bad at putting things away if "away" isn't right there. Ask my wife, clothes...
