dj3nk Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I AM NO ABLE TO HOLD THIS POST UP TO DATE AT THE MOMENT. PLEASE REFER TO THE POSTINGS. SORRY Hi,somebody of you may have seen the talk about the rare parts which are used in the x0x in another thread yet. What I wanted to do is:- List all needed rare parts in this thread- List supplier of these parts- List prices for the partsI am going to talk with Sasha what modifications he did so I can post a list of the needed parts. I think they should be almost the same then in the original x0x.If anybody already knows where (or has) these rare parts to sell it would be nice to post into this thread something like this: PART NAME: transistor blablabaSUPPLIER: smashs mumAVAILABLE: 1256PRICE: 0.11$ / 10 pieces 0.09$ / 100 pieces 0.08$ / 500 piecesCOMMENT: perhaps shipping costs etc............So we'll get a better overview off all the parts we need.I'll add a list of the rare parts in this first post and will write all prices, etc. in a table located in this FIRST POST OF THE THREAD. So if you have the possibility to get a part write it down in the thread like seen above and I'll put it in the table. On the end we should have a nice list with all parts in it.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________TABLE OF PARTS THAT HAVE BEEN LISTED IN THIS THREAD (ordered from up to down like the thread; no prices until we know the cheapest suppliers)TheProfLA4140BA6110AD6562 (LM358)LT300014T261K0JFT232ATMEGA162-16PUb-funkan54522sk30a-yxicon greeniesba6110ba662a2sc22912sc1583ls4140TheProfGrayhill switches, The FT232's, the encoders, and most of the potsb-funk"parts i have some spares from:"an6562ba61102sc22912sc1583some 2sa733p (high hfe)few 2sa733asome 2sk30a-osome 2sk30a-yseveral capacitor values (xicon greenies) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAncientOne Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 First run at finding some bits:Prices quoted are each, including VATLA4140 Cricklewood Electronics 1 off £2.35 Vintage Planet 1 off 1.40 EuroBA6110 Cricklewood Electronics 1 off £4.11 Vintage Planet 1 off 2.75 Euro (a winner for now!)ChipForBrains on Ebay sold me 10 pairs 2SC1583 / 2SC2291 for $56.90 delivered. works out at $5.70 per pair.AD6562 is an LM358, (National Panasonic later changed their part number to reflect this - I used LN358 in my Oakley TM3030: they work fine).If you really want the original, Vintage Planet have them at 1.4 EuroLT300014T261K0J 1K tempco resistor Farnell, UK, 1 off, £1.50, 25 off, £1.20, 100 off, £1.16I have a Farnell account and could get these - other synth makers may want them too - they are used in a few other things, Like Fonik's SSM2044 filter board, and Jurgen Haibles Tau Pipe Phaser.FT232 (USB Chip) Farnell 9519769, 1 off £4.58, 10 off, £3.91, 100 off, £3.42UPDATE! from http://www.ftdichip.com/ they are £3.85, no price break before 100 off then £2.87from Digikey, £3.80ATMEGA162-16PU 8-BIT MICRO 16K DIL-40 RC:- Rapid, 10 off. £2.50I have a programmer, and don't mind getting a batch and 'loading' them. You'll have to wait until I build my board before dispatch though, then I can test them.The Greyhill Hex switch may be a small problem.If we can get over 25 switches, (easy) the Digi-key will do them for £2.46 though I'll need to add some other parts to stack the order over £100 to get free shipping.What quantities do we need anyway?

Sasha Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 For sourcing the parts I used list from the ladyada website, and it was helpful enough. Ebay is the good source too.As the Mike said getting Greyhill absolute encoder might be small problem. It sells only in US, but can be ordered from newark or digikey.I find harder to get non-rare parts from US than rare ones. All rare parts are small and can be shipped easily, but digikey asked me 170$ to send me smallest parcel. That is insane. But, as the shipping prices are not the same for all countries we better organize some batch. The Greyhill Hex switch may be a small problem.What quantities do we need anyway?I would probably need more than 30 myself. There is alot of x0x builders in Serbia. I found a distributor from Newark but they say they are getting goods over Farnell so 16GBP are added to the price from Newark+VAT+custom taxes+their percentage (20%) so at the end it end up pretty expensive compared to the original price not to say VAT is payed 2 times. So, I think some other option would be better for us here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goblinz Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I would be in for a set of all the rare componants. Unfortunately I have no experience in sourcing old parts but will have a look around. Hasn't some of the parts already been sourced on the x0x PCB thread?

b-funk Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 i think all rare parts are located...it´s funny, but i have more difficulties to get some common parts, for example the 6mhz and 16mhz ceramic resonators ???can i use crystals instead ? or can someone give me a hint where to get them?for parts in germany:an6562 and 2sk30a-y -> reicheltxicon greenies (mylar caps) -> banzaieffects.comba6110 -> ebayba662a -> vintageplanet.nl2sc2291 and 2sc1583 -> ebay (right now chipforbrains sells pairs of them)la4140 -> ebay best wishes,tobias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAncientOne Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 i think all rare parts are located...it´s funny, but i have more difficulties to get some common parts, for example the 6mhz and 16mhz ceramic resonators ???can i use crystals instead ? or can someone give me a hint where to get them?RS do them at about £0.30 and £0.40, but they are packed in 10's.I might be persuaded to do a batch pack of things like Tempco's and resonators. If Sasha wants me to get the Tempco's from Farnell and mail him a batch then it will put us in the money discount - wise.I have located a major UK distributor for Greyhill. They need to find out the MOQ for these switches.If I did this formally through my company, it might be a way of preventing the 'Double VAT' effect, on some items, though I would have to put a small mark up on the items to cover the company - the tax man gets funny if you do too many things for no profit at all.

Kartoshka Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 the tax man gets funny if you do too many things for no profit at all.same happened to me at customs with lcds... they couldn't believe there's commmunities which driven by no profit interests.i'm in for every batch/order/kit for the rare/not rare/sasha exclusive parts.if i can help somehow with anything, i'd like to.

Kartoshka Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 deadline expires in 10 days?.. let's not bother sasha with it before he posts new one :-\No but seriously, i think time has come to start arranging parts orders, as i can't see any reasons why not to.

ganchan Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 uhm.. well, adafruit take 6 month for a kit.. i think that if the bulk for all parts will be before this time i will buy only the pcb from them, not so cheap but that is.here i've linked 2 files:http://www.inventati.org/ganchan/MIDIBOX/x0xb0x/asl.html a list of the parts that i've find on www.alscomposants.com like suggested. the page is orrible but is useful i hope.http://www.inventati.org/ganchan/MIDIBOX/x0xb0x/BOMasl.ods the BOM list with red marked parts founded on the site.probably there are some error in the cap values..if you have some other sites where to find parts in EU i will list. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAncientOne Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Been doing some more parts scouting. The best solution for some of the 'odd fit' parts is for me to do a lrge order to Dig-key, which will have free postage to the UK.I could get the Grayhill switches, The FT232's, the encoders, and most of the pots - all of which are PCB fit critical.I can get the resonators from RS if need be.Note, Grayhill switches are in short supply.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goblinz Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I'd be willing to post things out from the UK if this helps. Rapid online are a good supplier in the UK I'm not sure if they do the resonators but I'll check on the parts list at some point. I also have a friend who has an account with RS so may be able to persuade him to do some ordering. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b-funk Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 @mikei´d be in a bulk order for the grayhill switches, encoders, pots, and resonators.all other components i already have here, some of them in quantities that allow me to swap or sell to people who can´t get those..parts i have some spares from:an6562ba61102sc22912sc1583some 2sa733p (high hfe)few 2sa733asome 2sk30a-osome 2sk30a-yseveral capacitor values (xicon greenies)the ft232 is available at segor.de for 5.80€, at quantity of 10 it costs 4.76€how much does it cost at rsonline? maybe it´s cheaper to get them at segor, what i could arrange, because i´m there quite often, which would save us postage for one way...best wishes,tobias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasha Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Mike, once again... you are very welcome to help us get the parts, but be sure it wont have negative affect on your business. I remember you were mentioning something about it.Note, Grayhill switches are in short supply.How short it is? If they don`t stock much of it, isn`t an option to wait for "stock refill", or how it`s called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj3nk Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 b-funk:I would take every part you have in the needed quantity to build my x0xb0x.What costs this set ? Could you make more such sets for others ? How much of these ? How can we pay you ?Who would be in with TheProfs offer ? I think its on the time to get the lists ready sooner or earlier.thaaaaaaank you for your support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
