Any of you guys know the best place to get VTL5C3 in the UK?
I got one from ebay from a uk seller, not cheap tho, cost about a fiver
I couldn't find any UK suppliers. I got mine from here:

They are based in Germany. It might not be cost effective to order just one part because of postage costs. If you plan on getting other components then it works out better. I've ordered a few times from them and not had any problems. It took about a week for goods to arrive.
Also in Germany, Musikding:

Their shipping is reasonable for small orders.
They also do the Silonex NSL-32 which is a little cheaper.
Thanks guys, there is an eBay seller I've bought some from, think they were about £6 for 2. I reckon I need to buy 10-20 for some upcoming projects. so wanted to find the best place to get them :)
On another note RS Components sell the NSL-32, and there is a warehouse near my house back home. But they have to order them from RS-US. But they were quite cheap
EDIT - the ebay seller was £4.45 for 1..
Have found a seller willing to do a price break, feeling about for a group buy.
