Hello,
I´m looking for some parts, for my ongoing Project.

1K tempco resistor (PTC 3000ppm)
CA3096 or 2SC1583
CA3146 or CA3086
VTL5C4 Vactrol

As well as PCB´s for VCA, ADSR Modules, or others, if someone has some lying around. Will pay shipping to Germany.
Thanks in advance...

Hi Joshco,

It's been a while with no responses to this request, so I thought I'd give you some pointers to a couple of web resources that may be able to help you with hunting down these components.

A very good resource is Vintage Planet, which specialises in supplying parts for old synths, here:

http://www.vintageplanet.nl/content.html

They appear to have quite a few of the parts you are looking for, including the tempco's.

Another good resource is Bridechamber, here:

http://www.bridechamber.com/bridechamber.com/Parts.html

Scott Deyo, who runs this site, is also a member of this forum (In the DIY Hardware and Software sub forum), so is often available to answer questions.

Next on the list is Farnell, this is where I recently bought some Vactrols from, at quite reasonable prices. I normally work throught the UK site, but from this homepage, you should be able to find their German Salles office and website:

Last but no means least, I was given a link to a neat search page that I think someone on the sdiy mailing list came up with, that is very useful to help find some of the more elusive components, here:

Good hunting for your missing components.
