Bad news for the Austin DIY scence

[bean]

I just learned from August yesterday that MC Howard will be closing on the 1st. This is really sad news. There is definitely no other place quite like it in Austin. Millions of components of all varieties, including lots of vintage stuff. I don't know what will happen with the stock. I didn't really get the full story

If there are good clearances, grab what you can! It may be that guys like me who have a hard time getting stuff cause we live in the middle of nowhere will really appreciate the chance to take it off your hands...

Bummer. Pretty soon the only place to get anything will be from some online store. That is until everything is SMD only.

Anyone in the Dallas, TX area should check out Tanner Electronics, it has a bunch of the vintage stuff also.  Wish I'd found it BEFORE I built about 30 pedals, nice to save the shipping cost when you only need a few components.  It's on Valwood Parkway in Carrollton.  I am not connected with them in any way, just passing along info.

Much scorn was put upon using the TI samples programme (I love that USAian expression!!!) - perhaps the time has come!

Great store! I just bought the last of their house number 2n404's for $.59 each!!!
