Perhaps not much, although I was surprised that they even had 7805's and 7812's.
There was a variable regulator (most likely the LM317 that Dave mentioned) - but I think
they wanted close to $5 for that, and I had a feeling that put it more into "wait
until I'm next ordering components online" territory.
They didn't have a 7809 regulator, which is
what I actually went there
for on the offchance they had one...
I'd be surprised if they did, even in the old days. How much call is there
for a 9 volt positive linear regulator? 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.
Yes, it's mainly the DIY circuit fabrication/repair things that I want to keep an eye
on - their breadboards were rather expensive, but some of the tools and bare PCBs might be
worth getting in a few weeks if the prices drop a little more.
I might load up on D-sub connectors and DIL IC sockets, too.
