Yeah, can’t believe how quick they sold out

 

[carlinb17]

so they can take the reservation but they cannot hold the reservation?

maybe I can still get lucky and the hydra delay will come back in stock

I'm on that Hydra train.

I'll have a soldered FV-1, Faceplate, and PCB in my cart and checked out before you Jokers know what's up.

most likely, I just want need the pcb... a faceplate would be nice but not critical...

 

[carlinb17]

I want it all. I'm not playin' around.

All is not lost their here I just got my order in!

I missed the grab boxes too, but I received an order from them today and with it a bag of bonus NOS film caps!

I got the same ones. My tape was 3n3…which I was conveniently running low on.

I somehow scored a grab box today. Really surprised because I fumbled pretty much everything checking out PayPal login, forgot to enter in my phone number, forgot to check agree to terms and conditions and have no idea what I selected for shipping. Was shocked it went through.

They also mentioned they’ve had some inquiries to buying the business so small bear might not be closing after all

How long was the wait time before shipping? I placed an order Tuesday. I know they’re overloaded right now with panic shoppers like me

Mine was a week, but it shipped on Wednesday, and I got it Thursday…granted, NYC to South Jersey isn’t that far. In the past, it usually would take 3-4 days.

I placed 2 orders back to back on Friday and Saturday last week. The Friday order shipped immediately and the Saturday order got a shipping label created yesterday

My first order was placed on September 22nd, shipped on the 29th, and arrived to me on Long Island, NY (an hour drive away from them) on the 30th. If you’re further away, it’ll probably take longer than a day or two after it ships, but they seem to have approximately a one week shipping backup. I’d expect you’ll see your order shipping out either today or Monday.

Nerding out over here. My farewell Small Bear donation arrived. The results are exactly what I was looking for. My previous stash was all high hfe trannies. This batch is almost all yummy low hfe. Can’t wait to try these out.

@Dan0h Tack that 2N414 hFE 68 into a Rangemaster-style booster and be done with life!

 

[caiofilipini]

@Dan0h Also, those RCA 112011 seem like a nice pair for a Sunflower, depending on their leakage!

Love that tester. Wasn’t expecting much from it, but so far that thing has been just about spot on for hfe to what small bear had written on the baggies.

I wrote on the bags, it’s the same as what I put on the page. Got half way through and realized, why not just write on the bags.
