Hey all, looking for some basic components for some guitar amp and pedal work - at the moment mostly just looking for a solid toggle switch and some resistors, but if there's anywhere nearby with a decent inventory I'd love to check it out. I'm familiar with Micro Center and You-Do-It, but hoping there's something closer.
This is the only “local” place. It’s worth the drive
There’s a guitar center in Millbury.
Union Music might sell parts? Not 100% sure but it’s probably worth a try
They do! Not a crazy ton but worth a shot
If they don't have the part you need in stock they can order it from their supplier.
Not that I know of, and if you do find something it's likely to be horribly expensive. I know it's not what you asked for but https://www.taydaelectronics.com/ while not in the US ships fast and caters to music/instrument electronics. ebay is solid if you only need a few things.
There’s Electronics Plus on Rt2A in Littleton
Associated with any of the engineering colleges? They used to stock a decent supply of parts but only unless you were a student/staff. It wasn’t for the general public.
Amazon.com
Unfortunately this is probably your best option for something quick and cheap. Otherwise check out mouser.com or digikey.com for a near infinite selection of toggles & resistors.
RIP Webster Square Radio Shack.
It’s crazy how convenient RadioShack was. I get why they closed, but they sure did fill a need
Need a 12Vdc, 1A power supply with a 2.5mm center negative jack right now? BAM!
Need a female 1/4" TRS to two male 1/4" TS break out cable? BAM!
10uF Tantalum Cap? BAM!
Forrest M. Mims III Engineer's Mini-Notebook? .... uhmmm errrr ... jk BAM!
Is Radio Shack still at the Auburn Mall?
lol
