Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Hi everyone,

As a member of the groupbuy set up by HyperJed, I am going about acquiring the parts needed to populate the new KLM367-a PCBs I have coming - No doubt there are many of you in the same boat.

Jed has been thoughtful enough to provide parts lists on the group buy list, but of course this is only the main piece of the pirate's treasure map and not the buried chest of doubloons we are after - I am starting this thread to serve as a focus for our combined efforts to source and order all the parts required from the numerous vendors in question.

Let me start with with a note for those who plan to order from Mouser: I have imported Jed's list into a mouser project that contains most of the available parts in one big order. If anyone would like to get access to this please let me know and we'll set it up via private message. You can order this project's parts as one package for around $60 USD (depending on your local exchange rates) and it includes all of the mouser part numbers in Jed's parts list with the exception of the following: 140-50N2-100J-TB-RC. This part is a ceramic disc capacitor that mouser will only sell in lots of 2000 (!).

There are also a number of items in this project that mouser has listed as backorder. They are:

PART             DESCRIPTION                                 REQ'D
291-62K-RC       Carbon Film Resistors 62Kohms 0.05          1
291-68K-RC       Carbon Film Resistors 68Kohms 0.05          1
CMF5510K000FHEK  Metal Film Resistors 1/4watt 10Kohms 1%     1
291-22M-RC       Carbon Film Resistors 22Mohms 0.05          1
291-2.2M-RC      Carbon Film Resistors 2.2Mohms 0.05         1
UFW1H100MDD      Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors            5
HEF4066BP,652    Multiplexer Switch ICs QUAD BILATERL SW     1
CD4051BEE4       Multiplexer Switch ICs 8-Channel Analog     2
CD4011UBEE4      Gates (AND / NAND / OR / NOR) Quad 2-Input  3
TL072ACP         Op Amps JFET Input Low Noise                3
CD4042BE         Latches Quad D-Type                         6

If you order the project without removing these items they will go into a backorder, which may not be what you want.

For a starting question to the group, I am interested to know if anyone has a source on the 140-50N2-100J-TB-RC (or has bought 2000 of them and would like to sell a few ;-) ) and also if there are any opinions about simply doing a backorder with Mouser vs. ordering these out of stock parts from an alternate supplier like Digi-Key.

Let the games begin... !
