Looking for a particular component or hardware part and you just cannot find it? Got comoonents surplus and want to get rid of it? Post it all here... No sales of working pedals, put these in the 'Seen for sale' section please.
I'm opening up this forum for people who want to get rid of some stuff they bought too much of. If I was hesistant about this initally, it was only because of the problems and altrication that might come from this, rather than this idea of members helping out one another.
Rules & Guidelines
:arrow: Mark your subjects with 'for sale', 'for trade' (or both) and a clear description of the part/component.
:arrow: Keep messages and threads updated as to the status of the transaction.

Hello everyone, I recently encountered a j201 deficit in my country, having studied the forums I found several models that other manufacturers use (mmbf4393 Catalibread and 2SK208 AMT) or recommend stores (PF5102 Smallbear).
I also found some more options in stores.
If someone used them, then tell us about your experience.
I use them to create amps in the box, in the style of fetzer, like JHS Superbold, Wampler Tweed 57 and many other manufacturers.
Here is my list of possible replacements:...
New to this and after researching a few clones i'ld like to build and now wondering where to source the parts, and thought i'ld find something in the forum (well maybe there is pages in) thought it would be a good idea to have a sticky post listing reliable / affordable suppliers in various regions.
if it exists already my apologies and please point me in the right direction
USA
- ships internationally
Europe
UK
- for more involved dedicated bits like specific...
I am looking for carbon comp 1/4w 1k ohm resistors and am unable to find any online. Can anyone point me to a supplier for these. I really only need one for a pedal repair but figured I would pick up some extras to have on hand.
I'm letting go of some excess parts. First to go are these PNP Germanium transistors. Ex-military stock, likely 1970s production.
I've taken a random sample of three pieces (with a Peak Atlas DCA) and got Hfe of 125, 110 and 149 with leakage of 0.04mA, 0.06mA and 0.19mA respectively (i.e. low leakage).
I've used these for various fuzz projects and they're great sounding for this type of application with low noise.
I don't have the time to send out the odd few here and there, so I'm...
Full disclosure: I don't know much about stompboxes, though I have some history in analogue synths and retro computing.
Ok, so I was clearing out the old workshop the other day and I came across 20 good pulls of these TDA1022's. I was about to throw them out but a quick google seemed to hint they are getting hard to find?
Anyways, having been through the ringer of trying to find chips for retro computers and older Moogs, I thought I'd keep them and ask if anyone needs some? How...
hello everyone,
I bought a lot of 2n5457 and I would like to know if there is a way to know if they are original or fake.
grateful follows reading one of the lot.
Hi,
I bought a PCB for an overdrive. When I have the PCB fully loaded I want to be able to swamp out different transistors to see which ones measure and sound best. The transistors will be in TO-92 format. Does anyone make a solderless socket I can initially attach to the PCB to use to swap transistors? Then I'd remove the socket and solder the best ones in.
Thanks

Is it possible to emulate a lm13700 with 2 ca3080? I see schematics for lm13700 to ca3080 adapters but right now, it looks like ca3080 are available but lm13700 are not so I’d need the opposite.
Need to replace the Effect Out pot on this. I've never seen pots like these before. Anybody know who makes them or where to get them? PXL_20230423_194412548.jpg
Hello
Since high beta germaniums become so expensive Im searching for germanium transistors with low hfe and leakage. Do any of you know what russian models to search for??
Like like 1-10 hfe maybe at most 20
And 1-30ua leakage, the lower the better
Its for distortion pedals and the low leakage is the most critical since i use them in darlington configuration
I”’ve hade excellent results with af239 and a few other low leakage AFs with zero to 20ua leakage.
My local electronics shop goes by NTE references. While shopping there, I noticed that many common components have the same reference (e.g. both 1N914 and 1N4148 are NTE 519).
Am I shooting myself in the foot because NTE assimilate otherwise different components or are 1N914 and 1N4148, or 2N5088 and 2N3903 different names for the same chips?
1) 1/8 and 1/4 watt Carbon Comp and Carbon Film resistors in a wide array of values 1, 5, 10 % 27 ohm - 62k , 1M and 2.2M
2) pnp Military gold lead Medium to high gain Ge Transistors form Texas Instruments 2n404a's .. Sound better than any European you have ever heard!
3 npn germanium 2n167A General Electric from the 1960's these are the best transistors you will ever here period. Nothing sounds as good.. to those in the know they are...
Hey, man. :) This is my first post to this forum. Howdy....
Can I get any input on what *the best* LDR is for the Mutron III / Neuton circuit? DIY is fine.
I used H11F3 opto-FET isolator for ease of implementation but, even after several hours of fiddling with the current scaling resistor, it only sounds so-so. I think the slope of their response curve of is too steep for this circuit.
Hello. I'm looking for xicon's 42tm117-r. Please tell me where they are sold. If you have an extra one, I'd like you to give it to me.
If you know a compatible product for this transformer, please let me know. I want to create malekko wolftone chaos.
Had a old hakko for 20 years and loved it. A 936. Then i got a ***D which i still have and hate more then i did when it was new. I see there are clones and all out there now and i recall looking for a new 936 before i got the 888 and i recall the Aoyue brand getting a lot of good reviews as a 936 clone. But that was a while ago and there are a lot more junk clones and no name brands out there. So are there any good cheap stations being made now that have a knob for temp, heat up real quick and...
EDIT: I found that I did already have a cable but I'd still like to know if the connector is something I can buy so I can make a 2nd cable.

I'm looking for recommendations for quality SPDT toggle switches. I have a few Taiway on hand... opinions?
Also wondering about opinions on good quality 4PDT stomp switches, preferably with a soft click but not totally necessary.
Thanks
Hi guys. I am trying to replace an Alpha 9mm D-shaft PCB mount C500k pot on a pedal, anyone knows where can I order one? I have been googling for two days with no luck :(
Q, Does anyone know if these 5 way switches are still available, or still exist? I've searched the www but nothing even close to this design. There is no markings on it that I can see so hopefully someone might know about it's origin.
The switch in picture has a very firm/stiff feel and very hard to accidentally flick to another position.
The common units are mainly CRL and Oak Grigsby but they tend to have a much softer feel, some are even sloppy.
I'd like to find another for my spare...
