[time-nuts] suggestions for free samples from AD

[Bob Camp]

Hi

I would add that there is a whole empire of hobby board builders in Asia. If you are willing to take a chance on them, the prices can be quite reasonable.

But if they only sell by the reel, it is perfectly acceptable to ask for a freebie. Case in point are ceramic filters. They are dirt cheap, but nobody wants to stock them since there are few customers for them. That is, the volume of the product is high, but not many companies buy them. I did some radio mods and Murata was nice enough to sample me a few filters.
