About a year ago I purchased 65 of these cores from Arrow. The cost was $3.84/ea.

To be fair, these were purchased through my employer and we do a significant amount of business with Arrow.

I did this as a group buy for my local DX club and some friends.

Dean,

I purchase the 2.4" O.D. 31 mix cores (Fair-Rite part number
2631803802) from Arrow Electronics, and the single quantity pricing is
currently $4.83 per part.
Shipping is $8.00, but the low piece price more than makes up for the
shipping cost.

Arrow Electronics is a Fair-Rite distributor, and they typically are
the lowest price I can find from a Fair-Rite distributor.

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 with, and happy to be involved with a small lot purchase. What is
small you ask?  Their webpage indicates a hundred dollar minimum.  My order
was about 225 dollars. It was a combined order with another local ham.



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 .
