Old/Surplus Parts Source - Pulls

First, an introduction....

I have been a hobbyist in electronics for quite a while. A while meaning back when you could get lots of components from the local Radio Shack.

Rather recently (about a decade or so), with family taking priority, I've gotten away from the hobby. Only recently, I've been introduced to the hobby again getting into things like PIC chips and other microprocessors. I stocked up on a selection of parts from various catalog order places. Then my Dad gave me a bunch of boxes of circuit boards with many parts on board. He asked me if I might be able to put them to use. I said yes. In the following weeks, he gives me more. Here, I learned he was dismantling old equipment where he works, that couldn't be refurbished, and stockpiling the boards which would have been thrown away anyway.

This leaves me with a lot of parts. So far, I've pulled many of the ICs and some of the easy to remove discrete components (transistors, electrolytics, power resisters, SCRs, etc.). I have quite a variety of parts now from old CPUs (6502, Z80, etc.), TTL chips (74XX), analog ICs (A/D, Op-Amp, etc.).

What I plan to do sometime is inventory everything and post a list. I may find myself with a steady stream of parts in the future. I can't give them away (we all know we need to fund our hobbies somehow). But I'm willing to sell some of this stuff. If there is an interest, or request for parts, let me know. I'll see what I got. I can't promise I have everything, but I know what it's like to try and find a source for out of production components.

Here's a small sample of some of the rather unique ICs I have (along with datasheet links). Excuse me a moment while I slide across the synthetic carpet while in my wool sweater and go grab a few of these parts. :)

This is a very small list. There are many more interesting pats on other boards that I haven't salvaged yet. I can't make any promises, but if there are special parts you're looking for, send me a message. I'll make a note of it and let you know what I find.

Thanks, and I might catch you all again on some of these other sci.electronics newsgroups as I get more involved in the hobby again.

Thanks, Jeff

Speaking of parts - there is a dude on E-Bay - been selling off 1 lb boxes of parts. He says many are "new" Radio Shack parts (most in packages) but not all in packing. AND I guess he has some other stuff too.

You are in the wrong group. Only an asshole wouldn't notice that ads are not welcome here. Groups where selling takes place have words in their names like ads forsale marketplace biz

List your stuff in misc.industry.electronics.marketplace

That's because RS is getting out of the parts business. Expect them to close their doors shortly thereafter, thought they now carry iPods, all sorts of cell phones, etc.

Oh, real intelligent response, calling others an asshole. That does so well to promote affable discussion.

First, I apologize to everyone if they feel I was just posting items for sale in this group. I don't make a living off of the stuff. This is the first time I even considered offering what I have. I just thought that I might have some stuff available that may be hard to find. As an electronics hobbyist myself, I know what it's like to look for parts from time to time, only to not being able to get what I need or want for a project. I also shouldn't be expected to give the stuff away. I don't expect to get rich from it. That's just the way things are. I'm not independently wealthy as to be able to buy and build whatever project I want. It's not unusual for people to fund a hobby by selling off surplus stuff from the hobby.

As for the link to "Guide to sci.electronics", the last time that was posted to ANY newsgroup was in June 1999. How do you expect someone to browse a few months of message headers to get a feel for a group if the last set of unofficial rules were posted nearly nine years ago.

Give me a break, or grow up. Choose one or both. It's not like I was trying to pawn off Viagra or the latest business scam.
