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.
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
You won't find that at Guitar Center. They don't stock parts. Online order only.
Gave it a shot..someone there may know where to get parts
https://www.youdoitelectronics.com/ in Needham is what you’re looking for
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
This is the only “local” place. It’s worth the drive
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?
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.

Union Music might sell parts? Not 100% sure but it’s probably worth a try
