I'm sure Marcus does! ;D

This has been covered before and model shops are the most sensible source for schottke diodes, unless you plan on buying several thousand!

i was just interested that's all as i have a ready source of electronic bits and pieces to hand.

I do, but support your model shop and get them from there ;)

I looked into getting diodes as I live next door to a TV repair man BUT the prices he could get trade were only viable in multiples of 100 and even then it saved pence. before the advent of surface mounted caps they were a good saving but even they are not worth bothering with now.

Buy a kit from a shop that does 10% discount or similar and you will save way more money long term. In fact any number of things will save you more than trying to source cheap diodes to be honest.

I am quite sure that the electronics store mentioned don't stock the correct spec of shottky, so I would support your LHS that way you know you are getting the correct thing.

Oh before anyone asks RS do but to save 10 p per unit you have to buy at least a 100............>MMMmmmm seems like a couple from a model shop would be the best way to go here :)
