Looking for Grab bags

Post by mrdobolina »

Hi All,
I'm looking to find a kit or cheap grab bags of components. I've found this and it seems like a good deal.

http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10001_10001_163213_-1

Based on those bags...I'm guessing I can breadboard some shit up for quite some time? Let me know if think this deal is good or please suggest some other good grab bags.

I've build a few pedals from kits but 'd really love to sit down with a few beers, parts, and a breadboard to tinker...knowing i have pretty much what I need.

Thanks!

That looks decent, but a little light on resistors.

I'd go for one of those massive resistor kits on eBay that are like $15. You get like 1000 resistors (or maybe more).

Then check out Electronics Goldmine for good cap assortments:

I ordered the grab bag variety pack whatevers from Futurlec back when I first started tinkering. I'd advise ordering from within your own country if you want to get them in less than 3 weeks though...
