[TowerTalk] [RFI] New Larger Fair-Rite #31 Toroid

[Jim Brown]

Yesterday, I got a quote on this part from Dexter, a vendor that has 
been competitive for past orders. They don't have stock, minimum order 
is a full box, which is 25 pieces, $15.18 each. 50 pieces is $14.27 
(-6%). 100 pieces is $13.57. Delivery was quoted as 14 weeks.
