Hey guys,
I will be stopping by an old surplus electronics shop tomorrow and was thinking maybe I should see if they have any hidden NoS or other gems for DiY pedal building. The store is family run (20+yrs) and does not sell on line. They do carry quite a bit of ICs and Trannys so what I was looking for were some part numbers to look for.. everytime I go I forget to check.

Be looking for BBDs: MN3005 or MN3205 or MN3208
Metal-can ICs are cool. And if you find tropical fish caps, grab as many as you can and then sell them to mojo-heads. ;D
Also, vintage knobs are pretty awesome.
If you find any massive bright green knobs that will fit on a standard 6mm shaft grab one for me.

+1 on all of these. Particularly vintage knobs.
Stock up if they have some through-hole JFETs.
Oh, and buy all funky retro knobs.
I should note that I am still a noob so any part numbers or values would be a plus! Also I will take some pics of some of the bins and stuff I think look interesting for my return trip on Saturday. I am sneaking by there during a client call in the area but will return on Sat to spend more time picking thru everything.
