Does anyone in the UK have a spare 100 nF surface-mounting 1206 ceramic capacitor they'd be willing to put in an envelope to me?

Only I've just destroyed one sad smiley

(don't ask), and I don't have spares sad smiley

If its a 1206, you can easily use solder down a through hole 100nF cap instead, heck, i've broken an SMD cap, 0402, and replaced it with a through hole capacitor.

Thank you very much. How come you have so many?

(You don't happen to have a stack of 2mm green 1206 LEDs as well,do you?! winking smiley

I need just one more of those, as well.)

I rescued a part used reel from a skip at work when they outsourced electrical assembly to Malaysia a few years ago.

I managed to salvage a green LED from a scrap board I had laying around. I will post them tomorrow.

Excellent! Thank you.
I can hog the stove for some board-baking when my partner is away caving later this week!
