I used up my last CA3081 yesterday and was shocked to see GPE are out of stock of new ones and now only have pulls ... Plus they're going for £12 with the only seller listing on eBay.



Does this mean this obsolete device is no longer going to be available?



Looking for the cheapest source I can.



[Edit: Corrected post to be CA 3081]
 
I think I might knock up a little homebrew PCB with 7 transistors to replace a single CA2018 to see if it's feasible to have some PCB's made.
 
Opps ... That's what you get for posting tech stuff on the forum from a phone ...



Thanks for the link, I wonder how much shipping is ...
 
Their standard web browser international shipping is $30 - email them and IIRC they just charge at cost(ish) rather than the default $30.
