Subject: [alt-beam] Re: cheap eletronics!!!!
15 CENTS! That's still expensive! Try Good ol DigiKey or grab some from
a surplus strore if you buy motors or sensors and such. I actualy feel
the Solar cell prices are very fairly priced!!! Have you seen Rat shack
cells? $-5 bucks for a .5 volt cell that's extremely fragile and
sometimes arrives DEAD!!! Dave even pre tins the leads! Also his motors
are top notch. The capacitors are great too! It's obvious who is the
best source, and I think the prices are very reasonable for the high
quality caps and cells. The motors are a bit expensive, but they are
new, and cheaper and nearly any NEW source already, so even that is a
good deal!
