Calling all Aussies:

I'm going to order this BOM from mouser. Shipping costs more than the parts but I'm doing it anyway

It contains everything but valves, sockets, chassis and power supply.

If you want to get the same order, tell me and I'll re-mail it to you for the cost of parts, plus basic Australia Post. If you live in Melbourne, we could do prisoner exchange over a beer

Note that I have specified 470μF electrolytics. If you want a different size (like 150μF) tell me.

ps.
Radio Daze and Radio Electric Supply both have 19J6 in stock and ship by USPS, so they're both good for Aussies. I recommend Radio Daze for their excellent service. Sorry I didn't think of group purchase sooner.

I've had some interest in this which is great.

Shipping is $USD45 for one kit, and $USD45 for 9 kits. I was going to pay for shipping anyway so am happy to cover that cost. I'd ask you to pay for an AusPost satchel if that's cool ($5.30).

rds suggested that folks might be interested in buying these power supplies. I've already got 2 coming from Network Brokers in Sydney, so I guess that's another thread that won't involve me

So far m0b1liz3, rds^H^H^H and rjad seem to be in. Please confirm that. If anyone else wants to jump in, now's the time.

haha I'm not in... I'm in Canada.
That just looks like a really good deal for 10 ps. You could split those up and pay about $8 usd each shipped.
That link doesn't seem to work. Here is it:
Lot of 10 New Cisco AC Adapters 34-1977-03 48Volt .038A - eBay (item 330247592376 end time Jun-29-08 11:04:35 PDT)

Ah OK

Thanks for the tip then.

I'm still keen Jarpy.

Hey there, could you put me down for 2 sets please.
Anyone want to organise group buy for other parts?

Well, I still need valves, so maybe if I order I should get extra--I'm not in a great hurry though. But I'll post before ordering.

 

[Daveze]

jarpy, count me in for a set if you could...

 

[gz76]

I'd be interested in building one of these. Maybe two depending on total parts costs.

Also looking to go in on a group buy on the valves, PS, etc.

Please keep me in the loop for each of these group buys, thanks.


Hey jarpy, you coming to the Melbourne meet?

 

[jarpy]

The Mouser parts list is almost exactly $USD30 per amp.

I'd like to order soon so please let me know how many you are in for.

I was indeed thinking about coming the Melbourne meet-up. Hopefully one of us will have a Starving Student to demo by then

 

[gz76]

Cool, I'll take two jarpy - thanks. I notice that the stripboard is the most expensive component, yet it's the most dispensable!

Is anyone else arranging a group buy of the valve/sockets/power supply?


See you at the meet. I doubt I'll have mine built by then.

I thought I had a suitable powersupply but it turns out I don't, so I still need all the valve/sockets and power supply. I'm happy to set up group valve+sockets group buy, but I'm not sure what the best option for the power supply is. I've seen the cisco power supplies on ebay in Australia but they aren't particularly cheap-Cisco-CP-PWR-CUBE
I think we should be able to do better.

 

[m0b1liz3]

Sounds good. I am interested in this as well.

 

[jarpy]

Righto.

Order is away. I'll post the exact cost (after currency conversion) when it appears on my credit statement, and PM account details to you each.

Again, sorry I didn't organise this for the valves and power-supplies too. Hopefully someone can take the baton on that one.

 

[gz76]

I'm looking into the power supplies... will post here tomorrow with an update.

How many do we need?
