Another place is ALAN STEEL, Redwood City, often surplus government electrical stuff and of course metals. I liked Medelsons in Dayton, OH when I was there on business.</p>

As well as crazy parts you'll also find knowledgable veterans of electronics who's passion is sharing the wealth of experience they've collected. Thanks for the link to the handy calendar.</p>

The saying then was "if you can't find it at Dayton, it doesn't exist." If you're anywhere near Dayton, OH in late May, this is one you don't want to miss.</p>
