    Parts sources for builders

    Some of my own (and others') favorite parts suppliers:

    http://www.danssmallpartsandkits.net/

    http://www.surplussales.com/

    http://www.electronicsurplus.com/

    http://www.circuitspecialists.com/

    http://www.apexelectronic.com/

    http://www.allelectronics.com/?iorb=4764

    http://www.kitsandparts.com/

    http://www.palomar-engineers.com/


    Made this a sticky - anyone wishing to add to the list, please do so!

    This could be a valuable resource for builders! <edit by ad4mg>

    Good outfit, local to me. They do have a rather large ($75) minimum order, though.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    There are a couple good sources left in Silicon Valley. One is Halted Specialties, known mostly as "HSC" or just Halted. www.halted.com They've got a good website and reasonable shipping.

    Excess Solutions is also a good place. www.excesssolutions.com Before I left Silicon Valley, gasp, 10 years ago in June, they had the best prices. The guy even GAVE AWAY discrete resistors, just for dropping into the store.

    There's also a good parts outfit, Anchor Electronics, but their minimum mail order is $20 and they stick you with handling as well. Good prices, though, so if you order enough, it makes it worthwhile.
    www.anchor-electronics.com

    There used to be some great ones, but they're gone. Haltek and RA Electronics. So cheap, some sold by the pound. I still remember buying tantalum caps for $1.50 a pound. I had to dig for them, though, and throw the 2N3055s aside.

    Try Jan in Fla. or International, in Tx I think. As I recall Jan is a little quicker and reasonable.
