Since Best Buy's online inventory overestimated the number of available 2i2s across two stores by 100%, a Focusrite Scarlett Solo for speaker design work.
3 metre DisplayPort and HDMI cables to get to 6 monitors on PC. A little Googling found me the absolutely cheapest way to make a MIDI footswitch, even cheaper than DIY RPi projects: bought a NIB Behringer BCN44 for $15, and 2 momentary stomp switches to wire in parallel with the up/down pushbuttons.
LED tube light, 4 kV surge protected, 1 year warranty. $2 or so.
Some odds and ends for repairs to the house, wood glue and so on.
Hose clamps and a foot valve for the pump.

Solen caps to shotgun a pair of Tannoy Gold crossovers. The 16 uF in one is almost certainly toast after 50 years. Checked Mouser, Digikey and Newark and Solen was cheapest. Go figure.
And a MiniDSP Umik-2.

Sometimes (often) when buying stuff I (we) miss some components on our list or just ...
Anyway I got a package from Thonk (UK supplier of synth stuff) yesterday containing connectors, potentiometers a reverb module and some AS3046 for another guy (gruopbuy sort of). Yesterday I drilled a panel for a tube-VCA that will hold the three potentiometers I got from Thonk and managed to get too close together for any of my knobs, and Thonk sells small knobs. So I decided to order a pack of various 10mm and 10.5mm knobs from a supplier at AliX.
Also got a package from a Swedish supplier of electronic components, mostly resistors, caps a few opamps and some sockets today.

A DeWalt plunge router for speaker baffle and amplifier base work.
Tires today, found someone selling dealer takeoffs 20" tires with 19km on them for $600 for 4, a bit of a score.
Earlier in the week I got a Chromecast Audio for $30, couldn't resist after the "music player" thread.

... today : two baguettes, one red wine bottle and 4 Vifa NE128W-08 4" mids...
I missed one Solen on the order to refurb the Tannoy crossovers. Made no sense to pay S&H for one 3.3 uF cap so added a Dayton sound level meter.
Ha! That's like me going into the grocery store last week for a pint of half & half, and coming out with fifty bucks' worth of stuff. 😕
61,000 Fairchild transistors.
Wait, the Beast of 61,000 transistors?
I'm not volunteering to solder that beast up..!
I recently bought theese two items, a very nice and heavy pcb holder, it just makes work so much easier, and I found this used funny piece of fault location gear, the polar 850 shorts locator, so if I ever loose my shorts, it will find them,
No joke aside , it can prove for shorts by injecting a signal to faulty pcb, also has a hall effect probe where you sweep pcb and listen for the tone to alter frequency, if it starts wobbling the is a low resistance spot.
I haven't been using it yet.

LG BP350 Blu-ray player, no remote, no power supply, but $5.39 was too tempting. It'll run from 12V DC, but only has HDMI out, so less desirable than similar Sony players, and not much use as a standalone CD player. There may be a region-free hack.
