Once upon a time, I probably would have been able to provide almost all
of these items. Rummaging through my now-limited collection, however, I
was able to secure:
- 2 AA battery holders (each holds two batteries)
- 2 red LEDs
- 1 16k resistor
- 1 DB9 connector
You specified a 15k resistor, but the 16k would most likely work just as
well. Depends on the circuit. I also have some tools and stuff that you
can borrow. I also offer my assistance in putting the thing together.
Finally, for information only, here's how to translate that parts list
to English so the folks at Fulton don't stare at you blankly if/when you
ask for the parts:
condensator = capacitor
breakdown diode = zener diode
ic voetje = ic holder
