It will probably come in more than one batch, due to the usual stock problems, but I can now pad out the Digikey orders to get free postage for a reasonable number of orders.
Does anyone need programmed AVRs?
The attached text file is a list of the parts I am preparing to order. If you want to join in this order, download the text file attached, fill it in, and email to the adddress in the file As an Attachment. Put ‘x0xb0x bulk parts order’ in the subject line.
Once I’ve done the sorting, I’l order and PayPal you once it has arrived.
Remember that this is a contract to buy.
If you can’t do paypal, contact me first with an alternative.

All parts now in stock bar 1% resistors, (and only 2 people wanted them). I have a lot of accounting to do to match all the currencies, but I should be invoicing and dispatching from 22 of September.
the x0xb0x need 3 of the panasonic detent type pots. (list has 1 as standard)
from ladyada mods page:
Detent Tuning knob
When we designed the x0xb0x, we put in a non-detent tuning pot because that was what the original 303 had. However, this may drive you a little crazy. Panasonic part number P3I9503, an equivalent 50K linear potentiometer with a center detent, is available from DigiKey. Note that you may have to retune the synth once in a while to keep the center detent ‘correct’
‘Tuning’ knob by default is coming without detent, but can be substituted by one with detent.
You are right. I will update the file when I get home (I’m on a friends machine here). I will assume anyone that has ordered pots on the old form wants a full set.
Thanks for that, Two of us checked it and we still missed an item.
The 1% ones on the LadyAda BOM - not the ones for the LED’s, which you will need to adjust for which type of LED you have, and how bright you want them.
Mike, I really appreciate every help that you are offering here but i dont believe it makes sense you bother with those resistors and common part like electrolytes. Everybody can find those locally and it is fairly inexpensive. It is not like we need 1000 of them for x0x. We need to shop some more common pars locally anyway so please dont complicate things for you very much. I really dont expect you send us all the parts as we could expect from ladyada. Doing a Digikey and Mouser bulk and getting all rare parts is already almost as we are getting full kit. But suit yourself. I`m satisfied whatever you decide.
I wouldn’t mind a pack of resistors/common bits. Componants seem to be very expensive in the UK so it would save a bit; I’m not sure if it would save people in other countries much though. Although it would be nice (and lazy!) to have a kit containing all(/most) of the componants arrive at my door, it would be a lot of work to make the kits up.
Basically I’d be in for a couple of resistor sets, but please don’t commit too much time for it if you’re busy.
Lets not forget Mike offered to check 500pcs of 733s for hfe so each of us gets even part of high gain trannies. I did it with 120pcs the other day and it wasnt fun. :
i have all the resistors and caps already, so i vote no.
it was really easy to go thru the list and order them all from local supplier or a webshop, took me only one evening rechecking every part about 5 times.
You’re right. Thanks folks. Funnily enough, in my master list here, it’s 6MHz, (I was getting them from Rapid), but I misread the BOM spreadsheet, and thought it was an 8, when I typed out the parts list.
I’ll update the text file now.
I’ve had a few things to sort out here, but I’ll get this one ‘back on the stove’ properly, next week.
