I'm staring down two pretty easy builds right now that both need a few LM13700n's. Now, I know they've been discontinued and are on back order for years on Mouser and Digikey, but I just wanted to know how some of you guys deal with sourcing issues like this?
Do you just get on the wait list? Buy an expensive SMD adapter? Pay a fortune for the one's the hoarders bought?
Just wanted to hear some ideas. I'm kind of a budget builder and live in Canada, so sadly I don't have a whole lot of options but I'd love to hear some ideas... It seems like more and more companies are phasing out the thru-hole components and forgetting all about us hobbyists. =(
