Where to buy tempcos, MAT02

[patchell]

    Active Electronics was one of the places I used to get most of my DIY parts
from.  They all of the sudden stopped sending me catalogs despite the fact that
I had been purchasing from the quite consistently.  I see now they are part of
Future Electronics, which might explain why the catalogs stopped.  I am glad to
see they are still in operation, in fact, the store I visited up in the Seatle
area when I was up there last (12 years ago) I noticed is still in operation.
Puts the pitiful electronics stores we have in Santa Barbara, CA to shame.

    However it does pay to shop around.  The two best prices for the CA3280E I
found were Digikey and Allied-Avnet, but neither one of these places had any in
stock (in fact, Digikey has stopped carring the part).  I ended up getting the
parts from Newark.  I have also ordered a bunch of MAT04's from Analog Devices
(direct).  I don't know how well this is going to work.  I will keep you posted
if purchasing from Analog Devices directly is a viable solution.
