I plan on building a crystal radio and need to get some 1N34A diodes. (I
figure about 50 would last me a lifetime). Can anyone recommend a good
supplier who has reasonable shipping charges? I see a bunch of people
selling them but I don't want to spend more on shipping then I do on
parts.

Also does anyone know where to get the old Quaker Oats containers? The
ones
I see in the stores have plastic tops.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

That is the problem with buying small parts. The parts are about 10 for a
dollar and you pay for the small ammount shipping an handling. Try e-bay.
