Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I ordered my Maximite kit from Semtronics (they are in Nunawading Vic & are a reseller for Altronics) last week & purchased it from them this morning.

I was pleasently surprised to be charged $77 (including GST).

Whereas the latest Altronics catalogue has them listed for $89.95

I believe they will do mail orders.

see www.semtronics.com.au

They are a small company & don't have the manpower to maintain a proper website, but their prices for electronic components, etc. are usually much better than the 2 well known outlets.
