I have the NIM's, a Pi4 and the PCB, are there any components currently hard or impossible to get to complete a Winterhill at the moment please?

Thanks.

RS have the 3A psu modules, but neither they nor Farnell have the PICs.

Mouser have both. If you buy the case from Mouser, that will take care of the £33 free postage minimum.

All the small stuff should have equivalents.

Thanks Brian, didn't want to start it if something was currently unobtanium, your reply reassures me :)

Some months ago, I bought the pics from Poland with an acceptable price

Since Brexit you may find that they won't ship to the UK. Found some bargain ferrites I was after, only to find it was no-go :-(.
You might be lucky...

TME will still ship to the UK after we left the EU, I bought some toroidal mains transformers off them a bit ago, but thanks for the warning.
