[sdiy] TI SN74LS624N, worth buying?

[Bob K]

Thanks for the advice Tom, John, and everybody else!

The Coolaudio V2164 chips from Mammoth will be ordered soon.

I also found some stuff musicfromouterspace.com.  Whew, does that guy
have fun parts and a shitload of information!

He carries packages of 10 NJM13700D (LM13700) chips for $16.

I also picked up a set of Matched 2N3904s And Tempco while there
($12).  Don't know what the hell I'll do with it but, hey, I might as
well get them while available.

TL074?  Great..... more stuff to buy.

I've officially taken over half of my girlfriend's bookcase with
electronic parts.  It used to be four shelves of yarn, now it's two
shelves of yarn and two shelves of parts.

I'm slowly winning the battle until I hear that infamous, "When the
hell are you actually going to make something?!" question.

Thanks again!
