Actually this made me think of something. Hopefully there won't be a huge 
amount of poeple doing this collecting artificially driving up the price of 
NOS and used but useful parts.

I remembered soem more that I've 'collected'.

I have some LM703's which I'm guessing are op-amps. I got them froma Bearcat 
scanner, but I can find nothing about them online. I just figured they were 
obsolete and not very useful. The Bearcat box makes a very attractive case 
for an 8-stage sequencer, btw.
