   Yup.  Bought a hundred myself a few years ago.  Much more reasonable 
than what others have been charging for tempcos.

   It's all an approximation anyway.  It just has to be in the general 
neighborhood.

   Well I guess the issue is, can you tell the difference, and if so, is 
it worth the extra cost/hassle?

   Now that I have a source for SMT tempcos, I doubt I'll be using many 
of these leaded variety I have here....so...anyone that might want a few, 
I might be convinced to unload some...

   Cheers,

   Tony
