Digikey is fast.Like RadioShack when it was around.
I need some resistors but the only option seems to be to order them online.
What the heck is the world coming to...
Yeah, you'll be lucky if they're Japanese or Tiawanese, too.
If you go to countries that still manufacture electronics you will find all the components you wantLike RadioShack when it was around.

Yeah, a lot of Chinese stuff is junk. Not all is.Yeah, that's pretty much a given these days.
A couple of years back I had to replace a headlight module. Which is basically just a circuit board.
125 bucks for the thing and the only way of obtaininbg it was import. It lasted about a week before the solder fried.
I ended up buying a 30 year old used Made in USA part from a fellow forum member on another web site and the thing has worked fine.
Yeah, I was wondering about that, because I still see some people talk about going to RadioShack. You're lucky to have one around.There are a few radio shacks left all owned by the same guy in California... we have an electronic store in my town that used to be a radio shack... still looks the same... I went there yesterday to get an extension for my new PC speakers... but Amazon can get that kind of stuff to you in a day most of the time...
This is fair. a store selling electronic components cannot compete the mart of competitive commerce at this time.Like RadioShack when it was around.

Have you tried Graybar?
They have showrooms in some locations. They sell to electricians so they may be more residential than anything else.No. Never even heard of it. I'll look it up. Thanks.
I'm flipping through that source that okfine linked at the moment.
does yellow pages even exist anymore?gonna have to look in the yellow pages, I guess.

Do they sell straight to the public? I applied for a job with them once they are an interesting company that is totally employee-owned. Unless it has changed.They have showrooms in some locations. They sell to electricians so they may be more residential than anything else.
We still get a phone book--2 actually--but they go in the trash. Our Radio Shack's big misstep was moving into the high rent mall that killed its profitability. As for your resistors, you can try a electrical supplier or email your community college electronics instructor and say, "Yo, dude, I need a resistor. Know any place I can get one"You know what. That's a darned good question. lol.
I think my phone book is like thirty years old, come to think of it.
I've kind of wondered a few times why they don't drop em off on the front porch any more.
