[sdiy] DIP LM13700 discontinuation

[Ben Bradley]

At least the LM13700 is available for a while still, and from a "major
distributor." If anything, this might be an opportunity to "invest" in a
few to sell after they're discontinued.

I'll happily take DIP going away if it would help availability of more of
these new/newly remanufactured chips. I looked on the Alfa Rpar site and
saw the AS3341, essentially the exponential converter section of the
AS/CEM3340 oscillator with the expo current brought out to a pin. I've got
some good ideas for this, but I'd have to be able to buy it. There are
boutique distributors that have some of these new and newly remade parts,
but none that I've seen carrying a manufacturer's whole line. I'd email the
manufacturer but I doubt I could afford the MOQ, and I'd rather not become
a boutique reseller myself. I see ebay has sellers of the AS3340 and such,
but not the AS3341.
