The 1N4001 diodes, LM7805 voltage regulator, and the NE555 timer can be found at Radio Shack or you can get them and the other ICs on line I get my ICs at Mouser Electronics and found them to be good to deal with.
1 - LM7805 voltage regulator
1 - NE555 timer
1 - SN74LS73A JK Flip Flop
2 – FR151 diodes
2 – 2N3906 transistors
From your local Radio Shack or on line electronics store get:
1 – breadboard for testing
1 – protoboard
1 – switch
1 – Green LED
1 – 50k ohm pot (Variable Resistor)
2 – 150 ohm ¼ watt resistors
3 – 1k ohm ¼ watt resistors
1 – 220uF 16 volt electrolytic capacitor
1 – 4.7uF 16 volt electrolytic capacitor
2 – 1uF 16 Volt electrolytic capacitors
And lots of wire
I always get extras just in case I need them.
