As of 9/24/24 we will no longer be offering carbon comp resistors in our standard kits.

The few remaining larger manufacturers of high quality carbon comp resistors have marked them 'obsolete' and have ceased production. Cost by remaining supplier has gone up over 500%, while quality has slipped (we're not sure who is making these, our supplier refuses provide that info(!)). The samples we have tried have been consistently too far out of spec to be useful. As a result, we have made the difficult decision to no longer offer carbon comp resistors in our standard kits. Remaining cc inventory will be used in shop only, or contact us for premium pricing of custom cc kits. We HAVE switched to a VERY high qualtiy and EXCELLENT sounding carbon film resistor, one that I do not see offered by ANY of the standard 'amp parts' parts suppliers. We will continue to ONLY offer the best possible available parts for our kits! Photos for products that still show carbon comp resistors will be updated as time permits, but to be clear, we are no longer offering carbon comp resistors in our standard kits.
