TCS Stay Alive's


Recommended Posts

Hi All

 

Does anyone know if the lack of stock anywhere of TCS stay alive capacitors is down to the current climate or whether they are discontinued?

 

Im After a KA2 unit to put into a Ruston with Sound i have planned, but cannot for the life of me find any TCS stay alive's in stock anywhere.

 

Thanks in Advance

TCS is now selling direct and has set up a UK distribution office.  There are lots of stay-alive, decoders and other items in stock here in the UK. The only issue at the moment is that you have to order online from the US. The KA2 is currently £16.52.

 

You will need to Log In to their online shop (or Register if you don't already have an account) at https://tcsdcc.com/Zen/.  You should then see both prices in £ and the option to add items to your shopping basket. Once the US passes the order to me I will ship within 1 or 2 days provided I have the items in stock.  Orders within the UK over £100 are carriage free. For any issues see contact information at the bottom of their home page at https://tcsdcc.com.

Great News, i need a KA2 as part of my mad plan to put a sound chip into my ruston like Paul Chetter's article in Hornby Magazine.

 

Will look at getting one ordered later in the week!

An update to the TCS UK ordering process.  I am now able to take orders by phone (074973 89826) Mon-Thu 10am-4pm here in the UK and process card or PayPal payments directly, which might save some time if you don't want to go through the online ordering process.

Ouch! 20%!

 

We were initially quoted 80% increase in cost to manufacture SPROGs due to ongoing pandemic effects (and component hoarding and profiteering) but were able to get that down to appx. 20%. We have kept retail price increases to appx. 7%, for the time being.
