Source for parts

[Rick Pollack]

What are the local sources for electrical parts - generic PCBs, caps, resistors, pots, etc? (other than radio shack)

I need some pots, terminal connectors, and some other stuff for a prototype board...

Thanks.

AFAIK, the only non-Radio Shack place in town is Electronic Surplus in
Mentor (used to be at E. 50th & Broadway until they moved a few years
ago)

Good if you need a part fast and don't want to bother with a Mouser
order for a couple of diodes or whatever.

I've found it helpful to find what you need on the website first, and
bring a list with the part numbers, since a lot of their inventory is
not in the main area.

Thanks. I also learned that the old Electronics Surplus location is supposed to re-open in about a month...
