Would love to get some feedback on buying parts. I’ve got two machines and so far I’ve ordered a fair amount of parts from a few locations. I’ve done board work on both machines now and those little solder in parts seem to cost a lot less than shipping charges.
This seems to raise a few questions for me as I’ve ordered just what I need to do the job and struggled with ordering in higher quantities. So how do you all make the decision on buying just what you need for the job vs. buying bulk because you know some of these parts typically go bad and you’ll need another eventually.
Transistors, diodes, IC’s, etc.
I’m sure the more games you have that share parts makes decisions easier, but in the end, what stuff tends to need replacement and is just better off having on hand?
