well going along with what you are saying about the ability to buy a 10uf cap
then on for drinks at the pub?.
Why not sell packs of 10, or HELL even packs of 5?
Why not buy all the caps for your PSU at radio shack? your point is MOOT
because you were going to the PUB anyways, Lush. :-)

yeah the 80?s kept their radio shack?.
90?s kept their radio shack?
anything after that ? is like "Cell Phone Accessory Express?
if you are lucky they might have A switch or A capacitor?. And MAYBE it
MIGHT be the value you actually need? but how many people re-cap their
power supply with ONE cap?
how many people need just one cap?
thinking about this is making me angry?. I am glad radio shack is gone?
rest in hell!
If I'm (to use your example) recapping a power supply, I don't mind
making
an order with Mouser. But when I need a 10uF electrolytic (happened
recently) I can drive for five minutes, drop a buck or so, stop for a pint
at the pub next door :-) and go fix stuff. They even had a 7805 I needed
for a project - less than $2, as I recall. Mouser would charge me more in
postage.
