My 'stock' is beginning to get depleted. It is based on the Maplin 0.6w
metal film type which they seem to have discontinued. (I used them because
most others require you to buy a minimum of 100 of the same value - takes
up too much space).

What's the best alternative? It would be nice to get the same make and
therefore body colour. ;-)

They are so cheap that buying e.g. 10 of each value from 10 to 1 meg
from RS isn't going to break the bank

and you can buy them in 10s

In fact I'm getting just a leetle ****ed off with RS

last time I bought 100 1N4007s they came individually bagged - pain in
the arse to unpack
