“I have a place in fullerton Ford Radio that has lots of stuff”
I’m fortunate to own a HUGE lab stock with tens of thousands of components. Diodes, transistors, FETs, ICs, resistors, capacitors, connectors etc... Bought it all on the cheap for $100 when a company went out of business. Probably would cost $15K if you ordered it on the internet. And probably double that in shipping unless you ordered it in a batch.
