Equipment and parts wishlist.
Sorry to go off topic.
This is an idea I had which was inspired by TeslaSecrets.
An equipment and parts wishlist, it should be a new thread preferably a sticky,
where people with an idea for a device but having very limited funds ect. can
layout a plan, then say what they would need, what they have and don't have
as well as what they can get and what they cannot get, then others like
myself who buy some things in bulk and collect/reclaim parts might be able to donate
some things to help. Lots of us would be more than happy to help if we can.
Some of us may even buy stuff to send like equipment or donate old scopes
and such things.
For instance I've got and old scope I could let go, I've got 1000's of 10 k 1/4 watt
resistors, some obsolete but new transistors, lot's of stuff to numerous and varied to mention.
Some folks are students and such and so find it difficult to get all the things
needed for experiments. I'm fairly sure there are many like me who if they see
someone needs something in particular and we can help we will.
The only problem is it means the receiver will need to PM people an address.
Anyway it's a thought, and as a community I think we should try harder to
help each other in more ways than just talk.
Some suppliers have very cheap parts but they take time to come and some
need to be ordered in bulk lots.
Some kind of anti scammer procedure might be needed.
Cheers
