Welcome to the Useful Components Etsy Shop. International shipping is back as of 27-JAN-2023, via Royal Mail Tracked.
There are new and vintage electronics items being added all the time which might help with a repair job, so please do check back for more useful items. All items are on a UK postage rate per order. This means that if you want something else from my shop for delivery in the UK, you can add as much to the shopping basket as you want and still only pay one postage charge.
Look out though. The bigger, lumpy heavy items cost more to post, so adding a 2Kg vacuum capacitor to an order of two tiny transistors will increase the basic one-off postage rate.

5 out of 5 starsPerfect, of course pay attention to the shaft type, but seller has good info on product page. I bought these to give a guitar a (further) 80s vibe and they do the job really well. I’m sure a colour-coded set over a mixing desk etc. would be perfect, too.

Loud reception using the Useful Components crystal set radio kit on a farm fence while out hiking in Shropshire.

The BTR/3 Stereo tape machine at Radio Glen in Southampton. We still used that machine in 1993. After I'd fixed it :)

Sometimes one has to erect a big crystal radio aerial to see how good it is. This 100 meter one was pretty good:)

I dabble with surround-sound and annoyingly claim to have built the first *cheap* soundfield microphone in 2003.
