Feel free to add any good suppliers I’ve overlooked.

I appreciate that contribution big time CRX! (and all linked too)

The * marks are for decent vendors. Some of the others may be okay too, but at least one is awful.

Thanks for that, i’ve left off the manafont, dinodirect and ebay links though

Why leave off the ebay vendors?

Don’t forget Shiningbeam , one of the best US suppliers

I just thought ebay was so universal that it didn’t need a mention and the list may get too cluttered if lots of people chipped in with their favorite ebay sellers. I could be wrong as i’m tired now.

Are the sellers you linked exceptionally good?

Tomtop is the preferred vendor by a few members here for the best quality sk68 clone. Actually, the link I gave was for the usa warehouse. This one is probably better. http://stores.ebay.com/TOMTOP-Digital-Center

Inandoutcomputers has been popular for the last few months for their laptop battery packs, and they're on this forum now too.

Maybe brotherhaung isn't worthy. I believe I listed that vendor because it was the best place to get the Sky Ray Kung, but now other vendors have it.

Of those three I'd at least add inandoutcomputers if a battery supplier can have a place on your list.

I just got an order from them in 13 days ordered to letterbox. (U.K.)

Thanks for the explanation, added the first two

What about digikey.com? They have the chips we need to mod our drivers, particularly low resistance sense resistors. Folks frequently ask where to get them, and this site comes up the most. They have lots of other chips too, probably everything we'd need to make a driver except the actual board.

I can't remember which companies are good for making driver boards. Hopefully someone that knows chimes in.

Thanks for another useful list crx.

How about lck-leds, they have both an ebay-store and a website (on my phone now, so sorry, no links). Just ordered Sinkpads there.

Cool, thanks guys.
Was there not someone on here making up & selling driver boards?, i can’t remember off hand, will have a search later on when i’ve got more time.

Sticky?

Dr Jones, here: http://drjones.dyndns.info/. It's not really a sales site though, just a list of offerings. Think you have to pm him to order something. He sells drivers pre-loaded with his custom firmware.

Thanks, i found what i was thinking of earlier, OSH Park

OSH Park, that's what I was thinking of. Well done!

Future electronics in Canada has tir optics and will wave the maq if you contact them.

How about Nkon.nl! For non EU buyers you can use ru.nkon.nl for prices without tax..
