*** All x0xb0x 'Rare' Parts with 2SA733(AP)'s $55 ***

No, they would be fine,

I put them in the antistatic (pink) bags to stop them tribocharging, i.e., building up a charge due to friction on the way. And then in EM sheilded (silver) bags, so they are not affected by EM fields etc. Just leave them in the bags until they are being used, and if you don't have an anti-static mat, touch your grounded computer case before you handle them. They are not particularly sensitive to static or EM fields, but I pack them like this just in case, so there is no chance of them being wrecked by static. But watch in particular, the 74HCXXXX chips for the x0xb0x, they can be very sensitive to static.

thanks for the info. I've been curious about how much these parts might be affected by static and now I know and which things in particular to watch for.

How about if I took the parts out of the EM shielded bag to inspect them in this proximity to a crt monitor?

[Gaetano]

Nah, they're not that sensitive having them that close, but I wouldn't touch a CRT, while handling them, as there can be a static discharge from the monitor.

[slow_riot]

ah then I think I'm safe. good news!

thanks for all your help dude.

[isak]

i'v got the parts today, u packed it very good.

thanks a lot

Got my option 4 parts today, thanks.

I changed the way this reads as people seem to be going on eBay etc and paying more for these parts.

* All of the options include postage / shipping, so there are no hidden charges.
* All of the options include the 10 PNP Transistors, so you don't need to find and select your own 'High Gain 733's'.
* Any of the extras (in the first post) will work as well, and have been tested on the forums, they are all direct substitutes (they all go in the same way):
* You can use any one of these extra options (in the first post) to make a x0xb0x or use them for spares in a TB303 Bassline.
* I have included extra options, so people can other transistors used in TB303's if they prefer (but you don't need these!).

If you want to make a x0xb0x then these are all the rare parts and 2SA733 transitors that you need.
======================================================================================
x0xb0x Rare Parts - with 2SC536(F)'s & 2SA733(P)'s - US $50 including Postage.
ALL PARTS ARE NEW (Except 2SC1583's & 2SC2291, which have been tested)
======================================================================================
1 x BA6110 Rohm OTA (9-SIP)
2 x AN6562 Panasonic(8-DIP) Dual Op-Amps ('Real' Panasonic brand.).
1 x LA4140 Sanyo AF Power amp (9-SIP).
1 x 2SK30A(Y)TO-92 FET <- Both used in original TB303
1 x 2SK30A(O)TO-92 FET <- Both used in original TB303
-------
1 x 2SC2291 (5-SIP) Mitsubishi Common Base Transistor <- USED, BUT TESTED.
3 x 2SC1583 (5-SIP) Mitsubishi Common Emitter Transistors <- USED, BUT TESTED.
-------
24 x 2SC536(F) Sanyo TO-92 NPN Transistors. <- 'Real' Sanyo Ones (In the original TB303/x0xb0x).
-------
10 x 2SA733(P) NEC TO-92 PNP Transistors <- NOT 'rare', but used in the original x0xb0x, these have been selected for 'high gain'.
A lot of the rare part kits being sold do not include these 2SA733's that you need to make a x0xb0x, so not only do you need to find some yourself,
you then need to fing some suitable 'high gain' ones (about 1 out of 20 is high enough). (I have basically included these for free!)

I just returned to Australia to find the parts that I ordered from Gaetano had arrived - exactly as described and carefully wrapped. Thanks!

[skweeegor]

Got the parts, everything was packed nicely.

[isak]

i got my second rare parts today from you and the delivery was very fast this time, and again well packed well oriented.
one thing is for sure..the rare parts only from you man.

keep up the good work
Isak

[strosek]

Gaetano sorry for taking so long to leave you feedback but I just wanted to thank you and let everyone know that Gaetano is the BEST way of getting your rare parts bar none!!!




Thanks again they work GREAT!!!

[Gaetano]

I dropped all of the prices by $5 each, as people seem to be a bit strapped for cash.

So a basic kit is $50.

Note that people are selling just the 24 2SC536(F)'s on eBay for ~$2 each = $48 alone

I probably won't be able get any more of these, so when they are gone, they are gone!

[syneshtesia]

I want few kits - pm sent

[nizzleone]

Just got my parts in the mail. (probably got them earlier actually, but I just checked my mailbox here at work). Thanks!

[Gaetano]

** Just as a note, if you are new to the forum here, you do not have to ask me if I have any of these left for sale/swap, YES I do.

** As soon as I run out of any of these kits or any of the extra options, I will state it clearly here.

** I do not accept payment and then go and get the parts from somwhere else, I have them already and they are ready to send.

** These are the 'Rare' Parts only, you can get all of the other parts to make a x0xb0x from Adafruit / Mouser / Digikey except these.

** You can get the 2SA733P transistors from elsewhere, but a lot of people have bought these from elswhere have received the wrong ones etc.

** I have therefore included the 10 2SA733P transistors, so you at least know that these are the correct ones.

** I only accept PayPal, as this is the easiest method.
