ken_cinder Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I can't find this kind of resistor in any average store. I need a 3.3Mohm resistor with a 10% tolerance, and no.....Radio Shack doesn't sell em. Ebay comes up with nothing either.Anyone know of an electronics store online that would carry these? A store that will ship to Canada, and accepts either Paypal or a Money Order/Cheque. I know of an electronics liquidation place that sells them, but they #1 Don't ship to Canada #2 Only accept purchases directly through credit card processing (And I'm not giving my credit card number to some webshop, period) And no, this doesn't belong in PC Technical Support forum.

Inky Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 did you check herehttp://www.cpcares.com/they are in california but I don't see why they wouldn't ship to canada. i didn't see a paypal logo there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_cinder Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 They don't carry 3.3s of any type, thanks though. I think I may have found an Ebayer who will sell me one, along with a 44 piece package (Can't hurt to have a stockpile of other resistors). It's probably better I buy from him anyway, cost me $10 for what would cost me $50 in a store like Radio Shack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 To be honest, I could walk into any electronics store in Australia and find that resistor. The cost would be 10 cents maximum. I would have thought it would be easier in your country. :puzzled: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_cinder Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 I've never seen a Carbon Composition resistor over 1Mohm in any regular electronics store here, I could probably find it in a specialty shop that caters only to the needs of those seeking parts as such. We don't have one in the town I live in though. Oh and you could probably walk from one end of Australia to the other, faster than I could walk across the single province I live in here. It's a little different here, where the larger stores are huge retail chains that cater to the braindead masses with prefab crap. It ain't easy for a hobbyist to find anything they need without going to a specialty store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Maybe I could snail-mail one to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken_cinder Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 Are you trying to build a time machine? Need a 333Gohm resistor to finish that project. This is just to fix one of my TVs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken_cinder Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 Nice Thraxen, I'm going to bookmark that for future use. Unfortunately they don't carry any with a 10% tolerance, only 5%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thraxen Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Oops... sorry, forgot to look at the tolerance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
