Components Post

Guys,

Further to the recent components wanted post, i've just come across 60 NE555 timers if anybody is in dire need of a few...

BTW it appears Maplin are no longer stocking this timer, as we know it's a mainstay of our video games and most logic of that era....

They still have the thing listed in their current catalogue under a
variety of guises. The 555 is like the 741. It's just going to be
hanging around forever like a bad smell.

Hey, don't knock the 741!, its still a very usable, dirt cheap and easy
to find op-amp, even if it is a little long in the tooth
Hobbyists everywhere will back me up on that one...
