use a wildcard, as some of the devices are quite specific in their
descriptors -- thus if you want a 2SC799 and someone is selling a 2SC799A it won't search up -- ergo search with 2SC79* "Mike Silva" wrote in message om... Caution: this may be the most unimportant post you read today (or this month, or this year, or...) Anyway, I haven't been in the market for QRP-level transistors for a long time, having laid in a lifetime's supply years ago, but today just for fun I searched for some of the usual suspects from the past (2N3553, 2N3866, 2N4427, MRF237, 2N5109, 2SC799, etc) on Ebay and found almost nothing to be had. This greatly surprised me, as I was expecting to find all of my old friends readily available. So, are the "old standards" really hard to find now, or are they still readily available (outside of Ebay), or what??? I have to mention the irony that I am able to find any vacuum tube I could possibly want on Ebay, including dozens of types that would make excellent QRP finals, from a seemingly unlimited number of sellers! :-) 73, Mike, KK6GM |

I've gotten to the point where I *never* spell out an entire word or part number on ebay! Hint to hams: lots of sellers can't spell "amateur" :-) 73, Mike, KK6GM |
