Parts store

I personally hate driving out to Baynesville only to pay a substantial mark up on some small part I need to finish a project. I think it would be worth considering setting up a parts store at the Node for basic supplies. We could start very simple with say a $30 resistor assortment.

With something cheap like resistors we might as well try the office coffee model, if you use some resistors put some money in the cup. For $30 it would probably worth experimenting to see if that is effective.

Long term it might be cool to say get someone to donate an old cigarette machine or vending machine and use it to dispense parts.

Ideas for parts to supply:

• resistors
• capacitors
• transistors
