Spare LM3886's?

[mikebw]

Anyone out there have a few spare LM3886 chips?

I'm planning on building a gainclone amp or two in the next few months, and tried sourcing a few free samples from National.com, only problem is they denied my request. Not sure why, but anyway.

So if anyone has a couple extras they don't want or need anymore, I would be a willing recipient. Just e-mail above.

Um... they're not particularly expensive. :P

Pretty sure ApexJr has some cheap, if PE is too pricy for you.

I know, but free was what I had in mind.

You cannot request samples from a "free" email account. This includes Google's Gmail.

BTW. The samples program is not meant to be used to obtain free parts because you don't want to pay for them.

Well, actually you can request samples from any email account, although National now charges a shipping fee to users of popular services like gmail and yahoo.

Agreed.

You have to pay shipping from NS anyhow, so the cost won't be much different than picking up a few from Apex.

:P
