I usually buy all my stuff online from reichelt or conrad. Shipping in
germany
is not expensive, so there's no reason for me to not do this.

But i am sure i could buy all the parts in local stores as well. The
crystal
is quite common with 12 Mhz, the elkos can be of any type and the
inductors ...
you might even try to replace them by a wire (the one in the power supply)
and
by e.g. a 47 ohms resistor (the one in contrast generation).

Maybe ordering from germany and forwarding everthing to you is cheaper.

> btw, I'm looking for a MAX1709.
Maxim parts have a problem: You can easily get some free sample, but
buying 
larger quantities is always a hassle. I know distributors that don't sell
maxim for exaclty that reason.

Ciao,
