Good old Mouser they have been around for years lots of goodies for Ham operators to :) One of my other hobbies unfortunatly I live in an appartment so My radios are stored away . But I would like to build my own cockpit equipment someday I love soldering and kit building it would be a good way to combine the two!!

I had a devastating moment coming home yesterday and realising I have only five 10ohm panel-mount rotary potentiometers, when my next project clearly needs eight. I will be placing a foolishly large order now...

update: foolish indeed. Ordered about £25-worth of assorted wire, and another £25 of rotary and toggle switches and 25 panel-mount 10kOhm pots, just enough to breach the £50 threshold and qualify for free shipping. Precisely half a second after pressing 'order', realised it was exclusive of VAT and the actual price to me was £60. A thousand curses on the government of John Major for signing the Maastrict Treaty of 1992, making it illegal for the UK government to remove VAT or set it to 0%.

Then I realised I can't get parcels delivered to the flats I'm staying in. I'm hoping I can email them before they ship. They won't be /that/ fast I hope...

The amount of money I've spent on electronics since discovering Teensy, I could have just bought a top-flight PC instead and turned up the texture resolution and read the switch legends. Instead of thinking it would be cheaper to build my own panel components. Cleverness!
