I guess I'm what you might call a penny pincher. I did a quick comparison if the Lynx Express MFR numbers (only exact match) Mouser vs Furure Electronics and found that you could save $11.31 on 1 parts kit. I know thats not much but if you were to purchase 5 that's like $56. I still think Coop's are the best but for someone that might miss out this is a money saving tip. here is a example:
MFR # Desc: Mouser Future Elec. Need Save
UVZ1V472MHD Alum. Cap $1.59 .60 1 .99
5520260-4 Ethernet Connector 8P8C $1.00 .59 3 $1.23
0314020.HXP Fuses .89 .305 2 $1.16
MOC3023 Triac .45 .305 16 $2.32
I do not know if Future offers a bulk discount that a coop would benefit from or not maybe someone might want to check that out for future reference.
just an FYI.
Anyways that to DIY and there coops and coop managers for doing what they do to help us all save some cash.
