Any good UK suppliers ?

[UKsparks]

Was looking for some replacement caps for a 37" Samsung LCD TV.

Wasted 25 mins searching and selecting on mouser.com website only to find they wanted to charge £12 delivery on £5.80-worth of caps.

Then wasted another 25 minutes searching and selecting on RS website only to find that about 75% of what I needed was "Out of stock".

Anyone in UK found a well-stocked and non-rip-off supplier ??

Farnell works great for me. See also TME.EU , I use them and RS-Components from time to time.

If you have Paypal, I have some quality capacitors in my personal stock as well, so if you're interested I'm willing to mail you some for the prices you see on Farnell or RS or TME (prices for 5-10 pcs orders if they're smaller than 1pcs order), plus maybe a couple of uk pounds for postage.

RS and CPC both offer free shipping in the UK. RS is next day.
What caps are you looking for ? I've always found both good for Panasonic caps.

farnell has free shipping and a larger range than cpc, but you often have to buy them in 5's

Thanks for both info and offers. Much appreciated. This really is a superb forum!

Today (Wednesday) have just received package of all the caps. I needed from UK eBayer semtech1

ALL in stock, ALL Panasonic and combined postage just £1.25.
Really fast service too. [No connection etc.]

(In just a couple of cases package size was x2 or x3 but not mega-money anyway)

Am now going to replace all caps. on power board as have noticed a couple starting to bulge ominously. I was actually 'in' the back looking at changing the tcon board when I noticed power board caps. weren't happy.
