Anyone here in New England, or relatively close by USPS standards,
have a spare 78L06 they could throw in the mail to me please? I'll
gladly stick a few green backs in the mail for postage and the part.
I just pulled a bonehead move while putting together my Elecraft K2
noise blanker and need a replacement. The last time I ordered a spare
part from Elecraft, it took 8 days to get here by snail mail. Mouser
only wants .28 cents for the part but wants to charge me $6.95 for
shipping. I don't really need anything else from them at the moment
to justify the cost.
Elecraft usually sticks parts like 78L06's on the anti-static pad with
microprocessors. However, this time they tricked me and threw it in
with all the 2N3906's and put a 2N7000 on the anti-static pad instead.
During my hasty inventory process, I must have missed it and
installed the 78L06 where the 7000 should have gone. So when it came
time to install the 78L06 and all I could find was the 2N7000, I said
"damn!". I was almost able to salvage the part but a leg broke on me.
I can blame Elecraft all I want but it's my fault 100% for not paying
attention and assuming.
Many thanks.
