content: Maybe this should be a continuing thread...If you pay for shipping I'll send a bunch of random excess new components (identified) to you, anybody interested?

content: Quote from: slburris on June 23, 2010, 10:04:22 pmNope, more like timers, 74XX's, opamps, zeners, caps, 5-way connectors, etc... Think old stuff. Stuff I have extra of, but hate to throw away. Keep trying though, you might hit upon something eventually. I might have a bunch of optocouplers, I'll need to check what the tube in the corner I forgot about is full of...

content: Do you have any 5532 and/or 5534 op amps in that collection?I could use some TL07x ones as well. (Most of my projects center on audio.) Thank you!

content: Yeah, I've got lots of 74LSXX sitting in storage cabinets too, which I can'tstand just tossing out.Let me put an offer on the table. If you need some 74LSXX parts and Ican fit them in an envelope for less than an ounce or two, I'll send them free tothe first 30 people who ask. I'm in the US, so US addresses only, sorry.Just shoot me a private email and I'll go look in my inventory. I've alsogot a small amount of 74XX and 74ALSXX.Scott

content: I've got some LS and ordinary TTL parts too.No one uses them these days, they've been completely replaced by CMOS.I've also got some HC(T) AND gates I'll probably never use. Who uses AND and OR gates? They're very rarely needed and aren't very versatile, unlike NAND, NOR, NOT and Schmitt inverters which have hundreds of uses.I won't post unless someone sends me a stamped addressed envelope - postage isn't cheap here.

content: Quote from: Rhythmtech on June 25, 2010, 04:04:20 pmDid not find any 5532's or 5534's sorry no TL07X's either. I am not much of an audio guy myself.Okay, here is what I am going to do for everyone else. I am going to make up a couple grab bags of parts, and those of you who have PM'd wanting non specific parts will get one of those. It will take a long time for me to get them to you, because I am lazy and probably will not make up the bags right away, but free parts are free parts.

content: Quote from: Rhythmtech on July 01, 2010, 09:56:58 pmSure. How much would it cost to mail them to Michigan? Maybe you could include them in one of your grab bags if you have any left? Thank you!

content: Would the easiest way to do this be a $.99 ebay buy it now with $X shipping? Paypal? SASE? Blind faith you'll drop a the money in the mail back to me? Any suggestions?Realistically 25+ parts - IC's caps etc... will for the most part fit in a small bubble envelope and ship pretty cheap...

content: Probably not the best way to get free parts, but...Was walking around the rear of a building at uni yesterday, and noticed some coax hanging out of a dumpster. I couldn't help myself, threw the lid open and had a squizz. It was like someone cleared out their workbench by tipping it up into a bin and throwing it into the dumpster. Got nine brand new Omron pcb 12V relays, a stack of nice test leads, heaps of RG58 coax, and a handful of BC338 transistors still on the cardboard strip in a plastic bag. Sweet.

content: Darren, I'll send you 10 NE5532's, SOIC package for postage. PM me an address. Tried to send PM but only see a red box with an X for anyone I've tried to PM, so either I don't know what I'm doing or you don't have PM enabled. Just looked in my profile, and found mine hadn't been.

content: The box with the red cross is to remove the addressee so that's normal.Also, it looks like you are responding to a 10+ year old thread, that's not normal
