I do this too, it's a frustrating form of "organization". I can't tell you how happy I was to find a lone LM317 the other night when working on the Torpedo, it was the one Mouser part that I'd forgotten to order and it would have been less than fun to waste an order on one of those.
I got all the resistors installed in a short burst of free time this afternoon. Hopefully I'll get a bit more done later but I'm still waiting on the output coupling caps which should have been here by now but are not.
I'll find out if it was modded by NoNoNoNoNoNo and try to get more details for Filburt so that he doesn't have to talk to NoNoNoNoNoNo about it. If the price is reasonable and it hasn't been butchered it may be his best chance of getting one.
I really don't get the "it's been modded but I'm not in a position to look to tell you what has been done" line. What, all of a sudden NoNoNoNoNoNo doesn't own a friggen screwdriver? Let's see if he reports my post.
Went a bit nuts and had 2-axis DRO installed on the new mill which should finally be shipping by the end of the week and arrive mid next week. Color me psyched.
Peter, aw crap, that Sigma 8-16 looks sick.
