    PJ's post #2 was in reply to a post I have deleted. I thought there would be a marker indicating the message had been deleted.

    I was attempting humor, I didn't realize older electronics were so valuable.

    Sorry to PJ.

    First you jack with my deal and then you dump on me like I'm some skank-wad ebay grifter.
    Thanks a lot.
    So, what's your "handling" charge, wiseguy?

    Dig It: This wonderful, prime collectible goes USPS to any destination in the United States - no extra charges.

    Sorry PJ Allen.

    I should have known older electronics where valuable after seeing what people are willing to pay for older electronics kits.

    In my ignorance, I thought this was like selling a 555 for $50.

    Disregarding, for a moment, the collector value of the original RadioShack packaging, those clever folks over at NTE Electronics have a direct replacement for the LM3909 (which I once used, with an LED, to attract shrimp to their ultimate demise in a submerged trap):

    Oh, PJ, you shameless profiteer! :)

    I didn't take a picture of it, but the data is printed on the back of the card.

    I bet there's more than one member, some lurker, who's seen this and had a flashback to two decades back of gazing longingly at that last one on the peg-board - only for it to have ("Hey, where'd it go?") got away.
    Redemption is yours, my friend, don't let your LM3909 get away from you a second time.

    Imagine having this tacked up in your cubicle, guys!

    Genuine Radio Shack parts. Need I say more? [I didn't think so.]

    I'd almost bet the local RS associate store still has one or two of these hanging on a peg. Next time I visit, I'll check. 'Could be a goldmine!
