LM308N in the UK

[silentmike]

Right, I've been making my brother a Rat for Christmas (it's a little late now...). I couldn't get it to work in time and eventually conceded to just go and buy a pcb from tonepad. I finally got a chance to fix it today and it was all working great, I just had to swap over the wires as some of the controls were working backwards and I fried the IC! D'oh!

Does anyone know anywhere in the UK that I can buy a LM308N from? I've searched but had no luck, if forced to I'll order from Small Bear, but I'd rather get it from somewhere in the UK and have it sooner rather than later.

Might be cheaper to order from banzai in germany though.

Cheers for the speedy reply! It's a pain in the a** that it costs so much over here though...

http://www.cricklewoodelectronics.com/Cricklewood/product.php?productid=11170&cat=0&page=1 £2.50 here, postage is a little steep though so it might be better if you can actually visit the shop or do a big order.

http://www.futurlec.com/Linear/LM308N.shtml Also stock them but there's about a 2 week wait normally on stuff from Futurlec to the U.K but postage isn't too bad considering the distance.

Lots of other Op-Amps sound great in the Rat though, give them a try, I liked the NE5534AP in it but you can also try the 741, NE5535A or TL071 etc.
