I'd be surprised if they did, even in the old days. How much call is
there for a 9 volt positive linear regulator?
but there were enough
probably-useful-at-some-future-date bits and
pieces that I'll go back in a few weeks to see if it's worth loading
up on stuff. The guy behind the counter said 6-8 weeks before they
close the doors for good - although component prices might not be
dropped much below the 25% off that they're currently at (I should
have asked where the unsold stock was going).
One of the bargains, if you can use it, is the wire-wrap tool about the
size of a large jeweler's screwdriver. An end cap pops off to reveal an
AWG 30 wire stripper. I think I found one at about $7.00 there.
Compare that with the cost of an OK or Vector WW tool.
