Hi,

I am an hobbyist and I would need a collection of resistors.
So a box where there would be - let's say 20-40 each value of resistors
available. I haven't found such in Finland but I am sure there is a
web-store which has such. They should not be surface mounted.

I am also interested same kind of a package about diodes. and basic set
of transistors would be nice too.

Velleman do experimenters packs of resistors.

Most seem to sell them in packs of 10. If you go to 100 each you'll get
much better value from an electronics distributor and never run out. ;-)

In the UK, Ebay can be a good source of these. I got a box of 10,000
1n4148 for pennies - they'd got slightly bent so no use for automated
assembly.

I've never heard of anything being "slightly bent", I thought that was
like a "little bit pregnant". Either they are bent or not. :-)

I don't think so. How about bent slightly? Does that make you
happy?

My point, which was really directed at Dave (the OP) is the in British
slang, bent means stolen, so slightly bent would mean slightly stolen. :-)

I assume he meant they had leads which were no longer straight, but it
was a cute image (to me) anyway.

Back when I lived in the states, we would call it "off the back of a truck".

I've never been able to find a UK source for a range of wide rubber drive
bands for slow/bulbous pinnion motors, bought as a mixed lot. This week I've
found how to cut my own and now have a large range (30mm up to 190 mm
diameter x 4 to 6 mm wide and 0.75mm to 2mm thick) for most/all? future
eventualities, without the usual farting about with suppliers.
Technique not limited to that range, just limitations of my current jig.

Heh heh - can also mean homosexual. Would have said 'gay' but that meaning
has changed here too.

In one. No problem for DIY use.

Back when I lived in the states, we would call it "off the back of a
truck".

Once was 'lorry' in the UK but truck is more common now.

Hello,

Digikey (www.digikey.com) in the USA offers resistors assortments in
various configurations and by wattage. Most seem to include 5 of each
value. I'd guess that Mouser (www.mouser.com) also offers something
similar.

I believe both will ship overseas.

Both now have a UK presence - at least in web form - so may help with the
Euro thingie.

But Digikey are amazingly fast to the UK. Ordered some hall effect sensors
that only they seemed to stock and they arrived here within 36 hours of
placing the order via their site. And at a reasonable P&P cost compared to
many US firms that will send to the UK.

I'm sure I would have though it very funny if I spoke British.

I've been there for 6 days once and 12 hours another time, but that's
not enough.
