on the web. Unfortunately, they only sell in allotments of 5000 -- a few more
than I need. Does ANYONE know where I can buy one of these things retail?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

was sent a remarked cpu and whem I tried to open up the cartridge to verify my
suspicion -- I accidentally cracked one of the numerous resistor arrays on the
PCB. I only used it for 1 week before the incident. Right now it is a $350
piece of junk in need of a $0.20 part. Anyway, I found the resistor I need on
the web. Unfortunately, they only sell them in allotments of 5000 -- a few

Mouser Electronics is on of the few catalog companies that still sell small
parts one at a time.
They may or may not have your array.
If you have electronic swap meets in your area or surplus outlets, you can
probably pick up an old main board and scavenge for 10-20 bucks.
One last possibility: the reason for the pack is ease of assembly, there is no
technical reason. If there is enough left of the pack to determine
configuration, you can replace the pack with 1/16th watt resistors.
PS: The packs normally use a 3 digit code for value: 1st & 2nd are whole
numbers, the third a multiplier; yours: 5 & 6 & 0=56 ohms.
560 ohms would be 5 & 6 & 1.

Good luck
