Re: A pleasant surprise at Maplins
They have been offloading them apparently. My local one admitted that they got rid of the only guy who knows what a resistor is.
Not *that* bothered with the prices of mail order these days. I can get some brand name capacitors for not much more delivered to my door next day via ParcelForce from RS.
I just replaced a huge 15,000uF 25V Sprague long life can (from a Tek 7603) with an EPCOS one for £4 from RS!
