THANK YOU for this list Caustic! I have been trying to source parts for Sam’s creations here in the US for the last 2 months. I have never done any of this before and am learning as I go. I am that person who took Sam’s “don’t be scared to try it” as a dare. So here I am. 
I am hoping that I could get some questions answered, please?
- I recently purchased these trim pots from someone on Ebay: https://www.oddwires.com/baoter-3296-100k-ohm-cermet-potentiometer-trimpot-trimmer-2-pack/
I mis-read the BOM and looked for the 10k, 20k, and 100k 3296 pots and not the 3296W pots. It looks like these should still work, but wanted to be sure just in case?

For the 1222 Sam says to pick up “Eurorack power cables” with a link to the Thonk website. There’s quite a few options listed on that link page so I am wondering what to get? He also mentioned there’s a video to come on how to make them. Is there a parts list for the cables so I can get the parts I need while I am ordering everything else? I saw a few things that Caustic listed but wanted to make sure I have everything.

Please be nice with this question as I am learning here. The BOM for the 1222 has the same link both for the 1nf and 10nf ceramic capacitors. It looks like the link for the 10nf is the incorrect one? What’s the correct link for the 1nf? I am asking because I thought I could just buy an assortment kit of ceramic disc capacitors that had all of the values I needed for Sam’s modules like 1nf, 10nf, 2n2, etc…, but I found there was a lot more to capacitors than just a value like voltage, tolerance, or things like Z5U vs X7R, etc… So now I feel like I cannot purchase an assortment kit for capacitors (ceramic or elecrolytic.) Am I wrong?

Has anybody been able to source the 12 way rotary switch here in the US? The cheapest I can find it is on Ebay shipped from the UK for roughly $11. Rapid’s shipping rates to the US are ridiculous and start at $33 so that’s out. If someone has a US supplier and/or can get it cheaper than $11 please let me know. Here’s a link to the guy I found:
I found that this US Ebay shop has some of the best prices (that I could find) for the following: (They will also combine shipping.)
https://www.ebay.com/str/mdfly
3mm diffused LED’s - any color .02/each
5mm diffused LED's - any color .02/each
Resistors: 200 of a single value - $1.49 to $1.69
Thanks in advance for answers to any of these questions!
