In your dreams. Look up the price of, for example, 1210 size 1/2
watt resistors with values of 11 through 19 ohms. You'll find them
slightly higher cost. Like a few hundred times higher.<br>
<br>
You didn't read what I wrote. I said that because the required
values are NOT E96 they are much more expensive. <br>
<br>
Feel free to use octopart, but results for that search engine were
less than pitiful when I tried it just now. Here's what Digikey
offers for the 11-19 ohm values. Notice only a subset are available,
and for a single package size, a smaller subset.<br>

<br>
<br>
Mouser's offerings are not as good. <br>
<br>
Notice the few values Digikey and Mouser offer are automotive. I
guess something drives those guys to avoid standard E96.<br>
<br>
Again, I'm asking you *where* one would find these magically
inexpensive resistors in 1210 size with the 63 values required?<br>
<br>
Instead of wondering if it would take me an hour or more to "design"
a copy of a completely regular PCB like this, I'll point out that it
only changes one of the product terms: the other one is still
assumed to be zero.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<div dir="ltr">Where are the 1% 1/2 watt resistors with
the required values for a few cents each? In my
experience stepping away from E96 values gets pricey,
assuming you can find a source at all. Then there's the
notion of the time to design the board, get it and a
stencil made, paste and pick and place the parts and
solder it, then add the barrier strip. So that's $0/hr
for labor and magical sources for parts. <span class="m_-4960024275260580051HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">

<div dir="ltr">It would probably cost less if you made
them yourself, and that's including assembly!
<div>You could make them custom size, so that they fit
the box of your choice.<br>
</div>
<div>You could also use higher precision resistors
(0.1% or better) for 1k, 10k, and 100k, to make your
decade box even better.</div>
<div>High precision resistors are expensive, but in
bulk might not be that bad.</div>

a few folks expressed interest in the decade board
a while back. I thought it might be more
interesting mounted on a laser-cut acrylic base
and I wasted some time exploring these and other
cute accessories. In the meantime the price was
jacked up to $14 +$3 shipping each. I searched
around and couldn't find the quantity five deal
Paul pointed us too either. I was going to just
get a bunch on spec and coordinate with Jeff to
offer them in return for Splatspace donations. But
at this price they're no longer interesting.
Here's the item in question:<br>
