What's in the mailbox? 📬 📦

I bought 40 from Mouser last week. A little pricey at $.69 each, but at least I don't have to worry about fakes for a while.
Still better than when they were $1.39 at Rat Shack in the 80s! (Adjust that for inflation and you are looking at like $5 in today’s $$). Weren’t much cheaper at $0.99 each from Digikey back then.

Of course, I also remember not being able to find the RC4739 dual op amp or 4136 had op amp anywhere for the Anderton book… but DID find the ECG version of the 4136 at my local industrial electrical supply. At a ripe cost of $9.50/each! Now adjust that one for inflation for fun!! Lol
 
First of the last orders (for a while) came in from Jameco. Wanted to take a chance on the 308 cans they have. Also got a poly cap grab bag, because I'd rather pay for that and get something than the fee for the min order amount :p

and actually, not a bad spread for lead spacing. I was expecting much worse. Like, all 250V caps like that honker there

Haven't separated by value yet, but I'm pretty pleased with that.
 
last few I previously ordered for a friend looked legit 🤷‍♂️ don't have the resources to test like temol did, but no tab cutouts or chicken/dragon TI logos, though :ROFLMAO: Don't own stock with them, but even still, they're cheaper at the big box shops
Even Stompbox parts is cheaper than Mouser at $0.65 (even have the extended temp range version at the same price). Hindsight being 20/20, just wish I would have bought a lot of 100 pcs a few months ago, knowing how many I used so far, and how many I’m going to need soon

womp womp

Well shoot. I had to get stuff from mouser that wasn't carried elsewhere, so it's always that balance of shipping costs and multiple orders. I try not to overthink it, but I might've underthought :P
