Component Dealers

http://www.smallbearelec.com/home.html The best place to buy from. Steve has everything you want to a reasonable prices. Of cause the dollar course is vital for us who lives outside the US. I will also adhere to his motto;  "We believe that world peace is encouraged by the production of loud, growly, raucous instrumental noise."
http://www.electrokit.se/ The very best local (Swedish) dealer who has nearly everything to a very modest pricing and a superb service. I have top tell you a true story. I ordered a bunch of stuff and got it two days later. After 14 day I received a package from Electrokit. It was a big padded bag. When I opened it, it only contained one transistor! They had a shortage of 1 transistor in there first shipment. I had not noticed that. OK I had paid for that tranny but it was something like 10 cent. The bag and postal service most have set them back at least 10 times that. Thats what I call high class service.
