[sdiy] Parts in Slovenia

[St Eric's...]

Yes reichelt works fine for me. The only problem there is a minimum order of
100 euro...

you don't need to be a business to order from conrad, they are a consumer
store. however, when building ray's synth, i ordered from jameco together
with john mahoney , and the price difference on things like pots is pretty
big. conrad is not cheap and don't have some of the more esoteric parts, but
they're good and quick for basic things.
one place i've looked at that's cheap and relatively close by is reichelt in
germany. unfortunately the last time i checked, they don't do credit cards
or internet payment of any kind, but they are closest in pricing to the big
US companies.. but i remember someone else from here (i think it was eric
van b.) also ordered from there and reported smooth transactions.

adresses: conrad.de and reichelt.de.
