I posted this message earlier today, but don't see it, and the absence of replies in my in-box leads me to believe that Google didn't post it.
Anyway:
Since I've not needed to build nor rework a through-hole prototype in ages, I'm dumping what remains of my through-hole parts collection. I'm literally throwing the drawer contents into a box. There is nothing particularly rare or exciting there, and it's not an enormous box, but this material would be useful to a hobbyist or student who needs assorted stuff to play with. It would probably be a couple of hundred dollars to buy all this material off Digi-Key.
Off the top of my head, there's a tube of LM324s, a few AT89S53 (8051 flash micros), maybe some AVRs and/or PICs, 555s, LM386s, various bipolar transistors, a small sockful of electrolytic and ceramic caps, most of a 1/4W 5% resistor kit, approximately one metric buttload of IC sockets, maybe some motors, ULN2803s, crystals and ceramic resonators, heatsinks (?), battery holders (mostly 2xAA with leads), diodes, miscellaneous samples...
If *AND ONLY IF* you are going to be able to put this stuff to some use, email me. The first convincing email in my gmail in-box will receive the entire collection free of charge. US shipping only.
This parcel will ship sometime between 1/13 and 1/27 (depends how long it takes me to redo my lab; I'm putting up new shelving).
