Aaargh !
I hate it when I read 'just go to Radio Shack'. For me it would involve
several thousand kilometers.
Here in France electronics/parts shops are hard to come by, and there is
definitely not a single brand that is as ubiquitous as Radio Shack seems
to be over the pond. We do have a lot of consumer electronics shops, but
none has ever heard of a 10k resistor.
So, how can I get hold of this book - without waiting for my next trip
to the Land of Plenty ?
I have found the book on amazon.com - but they say it's out of print.
Ideas, anyone ?
Cheers,
--Jonathan
