Large solder board | 1 | $2.50 |
9V battery clip | 1 | $0.35 |
LM 340 5V Voltage Regulator | 1 | $0.99 |
22 pF capacitor | 2 | $0.00 |
0.1 uF capacitor | 3 | $0.00 |
100 kOhm resistor | 1 | $0.00 |
1 kOhm resistor | 1 | $0.00 |
330 Ohm resistor | 1 | $0.00 |
75 Ohm resistor | 1 | $0.00 |
100 Ohm resistor | 1 | $0.00 |
16 MHz crystal | 1 | $0.00 |
9V battery | 1 | $0.00 |

2 | $1.61 |
Television set | 1 | $0.00 |
Total | $24.06 |
Many of the components above do not count towards the cost since they are parts freely available in the lab.
