Re: [TCML] newer tesla coil parts

["Paul Brodie" <pbbrodie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just went back and looked again and Digi-Key has part number HLC-1.0K-ND available for $7.15 a piece in a minimum quantity of one. So, $7 just isn't worth the trouble for used resistors that are the type that mount in clamps at the ends. They are also 10" long and 1" in diameter. The guy keeps claiming that it is really expensive to ship them, which is bunk. He wants over $20 to ship them, claiming they have to have all sorts of protection to keep them from breaking during shipment.

I ship stuff almost every day and I make sure nothing is ever broken in transit. These just do not require the type of packaging he is talking about. Anyway, unless the shipping comes down significantly, I will just buy mine from Digi-Key. Thanks to everyone who was interested.

  Digikey is currently getting $10.87 each, so I guess $7.00 is pretty good. 
  I need two also, so count me in.
