Anyone know somewhere cheap to get some LD 3 pin diode sockets? It's krazy when ya look around and find'm for 5$-10$ each just for a dang piece of plastic with 3 metal pins. The cheapest I've seen something close is from Digikey for about 2.54, but they are a non-stock item and you have to buy 100 and I don't have 254$ for frickin plastic sockets right now.
I'd like to have some type of socket mechanism to make changing diodes easier and so I don't have to solder directly to the diode and risk killing it with solder heat. You'd think they'd be available for like 30 cents each or something since they're soooooo dang simple.
