I bought all the parts at Radio Shack, but now that I"m building more of these, for other people, I am buying the parts in bulk from numerous electronic distributors. I have thought about etching my own boards (I actually had the supplies in hand TODAY), but at the last minute decided against it. I just used their typical small IC chip boards. Worked Great. my total costs (Aside from cables since I already had them) was about $20 for parts. Of course now you have to add all the fuel, shipping supplies, etc.
