For those who still like to tinker with electronics, here are some places that I still get parts from.

Jameco Electronics https://www.jameco.com/

The Electronic Goldmine https://theelectronicgoldmine.com/

All Electronics https://www.allelectronics.com/

Back in the 60's through the 90's we also had Haltech and Halted Specialties, electronics supplies and surplus in Sunnyvale/Santa Clara, each about a mile from each other.

Many folks confused the names.

As I recall, both of them had resident cats as well.

My High School electronics teacher turned me onto them in 1969.

It appears Haltech is defunct, and not surprising since the owner was OLD when I was shopping/browsing there in the 70's - 80's.

Oh, looks like Halted changed their name to HSC and may still be in business.

Aside from many parts, I also bought my first of several surplus HeNe LASERS there in 1974.
