Not that I want to defend Rip-Off Shack's pricing, but by the time you
order the Jameco item and pay the minimal shipping/packing, wait for
a couple of weeks, etc, it would probably *still* be cheaper to get the
"Canadian" item.
In fact, I would suggest you try Rendel-Paret Electronics on W. 4th in
Vancouver (listed in fone book as "R-P Electronics"). Probably a whole
lot better in pricing.
