This is timely! I'm just looking for about 15 types of caps for two 68k Powerbooks with faulty displays. Jaycar has only a few of the values I need. Futurlec the same. Nobody sells 2.2uf x 35v SMDs. WES Components in Sydney has everything electro (though tiny range of Kemet-type tantalum SMDs), but I got a shock ringing through an order to WES for two sets of electros, with some spares, and getting a quote of $100+ delivered 8-o . Splitting the order among different suppliers doesn't add up because of minimum despatch charges.

I'll have another look at Altronics and element14, but I must say I haven't found them cheap in the past. When I see the prices in Asia, I can't help resenting the 1000% markups of local suppliers. Though I do appreciate they may have to hold a wide range of stock for a relatively small market.
