I am posting these links in the hopes that some of you will find them useful
in your search for parts and part information.  This is not a sales thing, I
have no relationship to any of the companies behind these links.

Look for semiconductors from common suppliers and get price comparisons:

(Please note that you can also search for non-semiconductor parts.
Searching for 112A brings up an interesting list including several sources
for Switchcraft 112A jacks.)


This next link would normally be used for Business-2-Business to find parts.
Maybe you can find a local distributor that would sing up, or maybe you can
try to buy parts with the trial membership.  You can get availability info
without a login so at the least you can see if the parts exist!  (There are
LOTS of CA3019's out there!!)

And saving the best for last, ever looked for info on a semiconductor and
couldn't find it, the following site has a better listing they anything else
I've seen, and it's free!

It really is amazing what you can find using Google and a little persistence
on the internet!

Have fun all!

Yep. Its a good think to offer them a price for things too when your dealing
with these "broker" websites. I've gotten 4 different prices for an IC
within the same company!
