Where is the new radioshack? (where can I buy random small electronic pieces?)

[morgin]

I need one of those. It's a 3.5mm stereo socket

I also need some ISO connectors:

.

Any idea where one could buy these in town? I don't think the source stocks this crap anymore, do they?

Does The Source not carry this kind of stuff? What do they carry, I wonder? I've not been in one since Bell bought them.

Ebay is great for this crap too. Especially stereo plugs etc (e.g. non-electrical). If you can wait the three weeks it takes to ship from China, they can usually come for less than $1. If not, there's tons of sellers from Canada/USA that can send it too.

The Source still carries random stuff like Radio Shack used to.

^ Just not nearly as much selection.

hands down these guys, call ahead to put in your order, if you got the part number and they can order that in for you speciifcally, and just head down to pick it up. Solid pricing as well. You would probably pay about 2000% overhead if you buy it from the source... at least that's what it is with resistors and LEDs anyways.

Try Digikey as well. They will get you the parts next day.

B&E should carry that though and you can at least verify it before you pay for it.

Not to forget you can get your bbq fix at Holy Smoke while you're over there.
