[sdiy] Source for 3080's

[Sam Ecoff]

Hi Stewart,

I have to say that I'm with you on this one. I might pick up a few  
3080's for projects with PCBs which require them, but since I'll be  
constructing the TH stuff on perfboard, I'll probably just use 13700s.  
I somehow would feel funny using 3080s if it wasn't necessary.

Thanks!

Sam E.
