I like this thread. I want to contribute but will have to wait as all I got in the post recently was that plastic weld stuff I will most likely forget about when I actually need it.

In the last few days I've had a box full of lovely retina burning leds from comet ( screw you HMRC....I win again...until next time! ), 3 flipper rebuild kits and a few psu components from Andy N and some T molding. Not bad. Hopefully next week will bring another 300lb wooden box of happiness :)

Nothing much in fact the opposite.
Got a wad of cash for selling my peachy Addams.
Which will be going to fund The Walking Dead LE.

Did you get the neons from the US? How the hell they get here unbroken?!?!?!? And did you get shafted with import tax?

Result! There is some seriously cheap stuff from the East. I needed one of the little pink headphone sockets for my son's gaming PC . Couldn't even find one in the UK and the closest thing was around £2-3. So I ordered 50 of exactly the right sockets in pink from China for £3.95! I'll keep a couple and the rest are going back on eBay to be sold individually.

Today I got:

eBayCaps.JPG

4 x 15,000uF 35V capacitors. These are the C23 smoothing caps for the +5VDC section on Bally regulator boards (AS-2518-16, AS-2518-22, AS-2518-107, AS-2518-147).

Another little eBay bargain - £1.50 each, almost half price from Mouser, Farnell, etc.. Queue onslaught of comments about only Panasonic caps being good enough but Nichicon are fine in my book too :D
