x0xb0x BOM v1.9 attached (last updated March 6 2009)

BA662A was made by Roland, thus it's impossible to get unless you salvage a Roland synth. Sometimes they pop up on eBay.

I managed to get a brand spanking new one from Vintage Planet. They often have them. But at the time of writing, they have none.
It is NOT a key component to the 303 sound though. So considering that it is usually an expensive part, it is not worth seeking out. The 6110 is plenty good enough.

Hmmm... I bought a WillZYX express kit, thinking I'd be all set b/c I have a lot of parts sitting around, only to discover that Mouser and Digikey no longer carry polyester caps. Jameco's site is currently down, so I can't check there. Small Bear has a few, but not all of the values needed for a x0xb0x. Can anyone recommend another source for these caps?

Thanks!

Ran into the same problem recently when sourcing the parts for my thitrd x0x (had some parts lying around). I replaced the Xiconn caps with Wima caps. Took me some time to find out which cap had the right spacing. Also the Wima caps are quite big, so thing got quite narrow in some places. b0x works like a charm nontheless!

Only cap I didn't get from Wima was the .018uF (2A183K). Fortunately http://www.musikding.de still carried the Xicon one.
