Is that a wallet wail I hear in the distance?

I wanted to send a member those elusive voltage regulators for a protoboard. USPS says $72 to AU !
Robbery I say!

It was going to cost me $15 to send a footswitch and a board to Canada

That’s a lot of pink bubble wrap.

That’s a lot of pink bubble wrap.

I'll send some pics when the package gets there. In about 2 months probably lol.

I just place a $57 order on stompboxparts and I am still missing two 1u5 caps (rather 1u + 0.47u ceramic caps), one of each: HT8950, LM258P, V3207D, one B2M pot, 2 OC71 and 2 OC79 (but I have a bag of Russian NOS PNP Germanium transistors that I successfully used on a few fuzz factories, hopefully they will do).

I think that's my midlife crisis right in this thread

Got my order today, much faster than I expected! Components on top, enclosures underneath.

AWESOME!

All that pink plastic will take up your whole recycle bin!

All that pink plastic will take up your whole recycle bin!

I save it all forever!

And I still managed to miss a couple parts and order an incorrect one! Well, nothing a quick LMS order can’t fix.
