I posted about this in the Craigslist/ Ebay thread a few days ago, and claimed I was going to show restraint and temper my hoarding impulses.
Some of you maybe knew how this was going to shake out.
I took the ride and handed over the hundred bucks yesterday after work. It was a bit of a gamble, because the post wasn't specific about part numbers or quantities, but it turned out to be a good deal. We still shouldn't act like this is reasonable behavior though.
The only part of the listing that was specific was that there were a ton of these Panasonic ECQ-P Polypropylene caps.
I'm not normally a fancy-cap guy. I may have even said fancy expensive caps in pedals are a silly waste of money. I still believe that, but now I have 11,200 fancy film caps.
Feels like I'm staging for a press conference at the police station after a big drug bust with all the seized contraband laid out on a folding table...
I was worried it might have been an unusable set of values. There are a few weird ones, but overall much better than I had hoped. I'm good on 1n caps for quite a while.
It will take me a long time to save a hundred bucks by not buying my normal 1n film caps from Tayda, but there's some other exciting junk that came with the package.
Some wire that I mostly won't use:
The transistors was where I started to get excited. About 1800 pieces, and a good percentage of usable stuff.
J201s for instance. Counted by weight, around 300 of them.
I'm still sorting though some of the weirder stuff. Updates to follow.
