[imBobertRobert]

now i can finally sample microwaves before i buy :)

[vov35]

How do I get parallax samples? I can't find anything relevant on their site.

[TigrisLi]

Great Instructables, I was wondering do they really send free breadboards???

[R.A.T.M]

fans mortors i need help finding one and will thay contat you if that decide to send a sample or if not

[furrysalamander]

Where did you get the toroid bead?
I need one!

[Inducktion]

What website gives heatsinks...I need some for TO-3 packages and regular ones. Thanks.

[I3uckwheat]

PUI Audio gives 404 error

[Theinventor94]

Does anyone know where I could get free lasers from?

[xarlock667]

Please do not take this the wrong way, nothing is implied, but the dump. People throw lasers away all the time from old PC's, DVD players, Blueray Players, etc... Ask your garbage man, and offer a finders fee for good ones.

[wacamolex]

Where i can get a laser from a dvd burner?

[-max-]

i just love free stuff!

[GENERALCHAOS]

i ran into this 1 idk if u hav it in ur PM box >>>>      http://www.chemi-con.co.jp/e/index.html

[jgaztelu]

I've just received 10 blue leds from vishay.com
they send worldwide (I'm in Spain)

[wilyg]

Can you get wire, jack plug and a jack socket for free from anywhere???

[The Ideanator]

Yeah, but not the wire(as far as I know).

[VHawk]

What Basic Sample Package from parallax. Which product????????????????????????????????

[marselsipod]

Heatshrink anywhere, people?

[jdumond3]

Has anyone received an LCD from Fordata? I ordered one a while back and it never showed up

[snowfreak]

anyone no where i can find free disposeable cameras

[grundisimo]

Try walmarts camera place.

[Plasmana]

At disposable camera shop, I used to get a lot of them, but they now don't let me have any more... :-(

[Wesley666]

why?

[Plasmana]

Cos they found a company who will pay good money for those used cameras. :-( Just about everybody wants money nowdays, nobody has a heart like in the good ol' days.

[Wesley666]

also not sure if its 4MHz or 20-30MHz but its one of the two.

[Wesley666]

true dat. Also the flyback works! finally I got a 1 cm arch from it using a 12v wall adapter (120vac in Canada) and a transistor from a really really old radio. I hooked up some more transistors in another configuration in seris with the first and somehow got a 2.5 cm arch. still trying to free sample the right transistor for optimum performance though. Also a website that has free samples has transistors Hz level. I looked and most transisotrs that work well are in the 4 MHz range but what if you had a 10 GHz transistor? I know that the flyback probably would never be able to operate that fast but would it get it going as fast as it could (highest Hz level would produce the biggest arches)?

[Owzcarde]

go to a camera store or some other place where people deliver their used cameras and ask nicely. i got 5 for $0

[static]

I was going to post it couldn't hurt to go state your case, and see what comes of it. All they can say no, but what the heck you ark asking for something for free, though what you are asking for didn't cost them anything

[snowfreak]

thanks I went to Wal-mart and they gave me about thirty

[snowfreak]

where could i get some cheap breadboards and protoboards

[cd41]

Add Skiffy, they have small components for free samples and such, website: skiffy.com I Got LED holders or something from them and the just sent me a catalog full of stuff and they apparently love giving future customers samples, so remmeber to buy something(not that expensive, kindof).

[Dr Science11]

know anywhere to get breadboard samples from? or is that not considered an electronic part?

[frankmon]

Getting parts for free is cool but breadboards are tools that everyone involved in electronics should own. Besides, most suppliers are starting to require credentials before they kick down with samples. You have to have a domain name (www.iamanengineer.com , not www.geocities.com/iamanengineer ) at the very least but most require a resale number. TI is pretty cool with their sample policy but the form factor on most of their chips is pretty high end requiring professional SMT tools and equipment. Some surface mount stuff can be done with just a soldering iron but most require hot-air and/or oven to assemble. Just my 2 cents

[maxsteel3000]

Please Specify someplace for sample gearhead micro motors

[pcm]

Digi-Key.com - please remember to order from them

[lobo_pal]

VCC Globalspec No longer offers free samples.
