Dean, I purchase the 2.4" O.D. 31 mix cores (Fair-Rite part number 2631803802) from Arrow Electronics, and the single quantity pricing is currently $4.83 per part. Shipping is $8.00, but the low piece price more than makes up for the shipping cost.
Arrow Electronics is a Fair-Rite distributor, and they typically are the lowest price I can find from a Fair-Rite distributor. 73's Don (WD8DSB) On Tue, Jun 4, 2013 at 6:29 PM, <dospi...@q.com> wrote: > > > > > Hi Folks > > > > A month or so ago, I inquired of the reflector , for a source for 31 > material ferrite cores.
