I allways remember the polypack ads ... 74xx for
only 5 cents each or so if I recall right.
I remember buying 923 RTL FFs from them for $1 apiece and thinking that it
was a steal. Typical floor sweepings--some packages didn't even have the
leads plated.
I still have a couple of Fairchild 8 bit addressable memories that I bought
from them for way too much. DTL, requiring a 6 volt
supply and a 7 volt
clock. Ran hot as a pistol.
My first 741 op amp came from them. My first LED's were purchased directly
from Montsanto as part of their
"experimenter's program".
