hi dieter,

apropos small components: can i order a quantity of jack sockets from your firm the
ones i get from conrad are okay on the quality side, but the thread is too short to be
usable with holes drilled into the... er... blindplatten (sorry, english guy loses his mother
tongue).

the holes were drilled and i intended to build a couple of passive modules and do a little
modest circuit bending, but when people say "ooh, that looks interesting, what does it do
" i have to bow my head in shame and mutter "nothing yet".
