huge electro cap stash for $6.50!

CaptainPeyote · **Posted:** Fri Jun 24, 2011 5:01 pm

Got this from a site called the electronics goldmine. Brands include sprague, mallory, nichicon, Sanyo, and more including some made in usa. Haven't sorted or counted yet, but there are probably 1000+. Most are 16 or 35 volt.

If Scooter doesn't have $6.50, I'll split it with him, LOL!

I think he is just showing off! :lol:

CaptainPeyote · **Posted:** Fri Jun 24, 2011 10:02 pm

Yeah, fellas - just showing off. :lol:

Like I told Scooter - GET YOUR OWN DAMN BOX!

seriously, though... $6.50 for all those caps, even if you can only use 1/4 of them, is cheap as hell.

here's the link:

He has other cheap assortment packs and grab bags, too... might be worth the risk, if my score is any indication.

That's a great haul.

Drezdn, as of today, we live in the same great city! - so let me know if you need any electros!

Though I've never bought from them, Electronics Goldmine is mentioned in a bunch of electronics books I have. They're basically a surplus dealer so that's how they keep their prices so low.

C_P, thanks for the offer. I can return the favor if you ever need an obscure value of metal film resistor.

They won't post to the UK

TNB, yep - great deal if you don't mind sorting them yourself... which is fairly easy, considering the values are printed on instead of color coded.

I'm sure one of us us-ians would gladly help you out if you paid for shipping :wink:

Saw this and jumped. I hate shopping for electros :lol:

If nothing else, I can help out my peers.

Damn. Well that did it. Ordered one of these, and to help justify the standard $7.20 UPS ground shipping, I added a trimmer assortment ($2.50), a couple brushed aluminum handles, a 100 pack of little ziplock bags with the white space for writing, and some router bits for the hell of it. I don't even know at this point what I'm going to rout, but they were $2 for an assortment... I have a problem. This is one day after a sizable BYOC order. :mrgreen:

I stepped up to help our Badgerific friend. And got some for rmyself.

The Electro box probably has 750-1000 peices. OTOH, more than half of that seems to be 300µ - 2000µ.

The mylar bags are much lighter, but looks to be values that we really do use.

So, if you are an amp builder maybe you could use those?

I thought about that. I don't recall what the Voltage ratings should be for an amp build, but I am guessing it is higher than 25V

Got mine Saturday, sorted through it last night. I got a TON for $5. about 1/3 of the caps are either huge voltages or huge uf and so are physically HUGE, I've labeled the box I put them all in 'potential amp caps' :mrgreen:

The rest is great though, other than the way too many 10V rated 470uf and 220uf caps I got. :roll:

I did get an assload of microscopically sized 3.3ufs which is awesome, and some killer metal can looking 330ufs. For the number of each of those I got, and for $5, that alone was worth it. Plus sorting through them was a nice quiet activity while the Sox and Rays were going out to the 16th inning before the Sox won it...

They have mixed packs of a few different things. This one just happened to go on sale from $6.50 down to $5.

That's a pretty damn good deal.

I just ordered a box about 30 minutes ago, an assortment of LEDS for 2.50 and something else oh disc caps for 2.50.....we'll see what I get.
