Yet another resistance decade box
kripton2035:
try the clone, from USA it seems the way to go

Fortran:
Didn't work from Finland either :)
Leo Bodnar:
Why not use the original?

I purchased one of these:

(1% resistance/5-10% capacitance) and use it all the time. To me, the ability to quickly test and cycle through different RC networks was worth the cost (I have one I built myself with through hole parts that this replaced). I'm sure someone could easily combine the two into their own design with available boards. I'd love to see a higher tolerance model (0.1% resistance/ 1% capacitance) available or maybe this becomes a weekend project to desolder/resolder higher tolerance components in.
Even better would be a version with inductance as well to make RLC circuits. I realize the serial/parallel complexity increases but I would jump on one if it was available or even build one if it was available in kit form.
Hey, a guy can dream, right?
Leo Bodnar:
I have went ahead and bought 10 kits.
Then I tried to find matching switches quickly on Farnell - there were none.
So I ordered 10 sets of 10 switches that looked suitable from eBay.
They took a month to arrive and turned out to be of wrong size.
By that time I have lost interest and just bought a decade box from Farnell.
In the end everyone's a winner.
