I repair old Tektronix equipment, and I rely more on Mouser than Digikey, though I do use Digikey when Mouser doesn't have the part I'm looking for in stock. Never had an issue with a minimum dollar amount order. Usually where I run into issues is finding old components (or obsolete) either in stock or offered in quantities less than a large amount. I also use Allied, Newark and sometimes Jameco to find the stuff I need.
