Good morning, Dean!

Glad you connected with the folks at Kreger Components! Because of my 20+ years 
of experience with them and Fair-Rite in my work (mostly 73 material) at 
Westinghouse, ABB and Elster Electricity, I knew that I could recommend them 
without any hesitation or reservation! Their service and responsiveness have 
always been just excellent!

I'm glad that you found what you needed and enjoyed their excellent service!

Have a good day!

P.S.  For some applications like transformers, baluns, common-mode chokes etc. 
-  you might consider 73 material - it also has its advantages at times.

Hi Folks 



A month or so ago, I inquired of the reflector , for a source for 31 material 
ferrite cores.  Many responded both on and off the reflector. I thank you all 
for your input.  You can be sure I checked out your suggestions. 



>From my point of view the very best suggestion was  Kreger Components 1360 
>Roanoke BLvd  Salem, VA  24153.  Or on the web at          www.  krege 
>rcomponents.com   Phone is 540 389 6565.   I talked to "Sherry"  on my first 
>contact. She is the inside sales manager.  I  found her to be easy to work

They have a very extensive stock and update their catalog every day, so you 
wont run into out of stock replies. Specifically?  The large type 31 core, we 
commonly know as FT240-31 is priced at $6.25 each in small lots. Thats the 
cheapest I found anywhere. 



 Communications were excellent. Shipping was ultra quick and very well packed.  
It arrived today. 



Kreger Componets was first suggested by Charlie Cunningham . Several others 
followed on and confirmed their great reputation ..as Im doing .
