Oh dear, this is so frustrating. :-)

For years I keep an eye on such sources - where ever they might be, but
'easy' is defenitely not my experience. Shops don't have them, there
suppliers don't have them, or claim they don't have, and any 'pressure'
to ask their suppliers, is something they don't want to do. It took me
months to find a few 68B54's. That took so much effort, time and
additional money, I really needed to stop doing these things. And
the (big) suppliers are not waiting for the occasional private person.

If it is that dead easy, would someone like to pick up the idea to get
those easy ones, tells us reguraly so we can buy at reguraly intervals,
meaning not too much money of the initiator is lying in vain on the
shelfs, thereby keeping the fun to continue.

Anyone?


Defenitely I'm looking in the wrong places (shops/suplliers), so perhaps a
few hints won't harm me (us?).

Any?

Or is the UK quite different from main land: don't tell me it's
something as easy as Ebay? (Never succeeded)


greetings,
Johan
