Really interesting store. Helpful staff. A must see for electronic stuff

It’s going to be a sad day when these guys go under . I love having something like the old RadioShack around . Unfortunately I think they’re struggling with stocking and sales .. I really don’t know how they manage to stay in business with such little traffic to the store . I wish them the best and keep coming back to support them , but I fear it won’t be enough . They recently had to shutter their second floor because they don’t have enough stock to not have it look barren . I think they may be on their last legs but I’ll keep coming as long as they have goods to sell . 5 stars for helpful staff doing their best.

Bought a 10 pack of CAT5 ends during start of Covid when they were only selling merchandise off of their loading dock. I used 2 different crimping tools and could not get ends to test correctly. When I went into store to return product they insisted they did not sell me it and pointed to shelf saying they don't even carry that brand. They wouldn't refund me or let me trade for the ones they had on shelf. Place ripped me off and their prices are crazy steep.

Good advice, quality parts and reasonable prices. I went in for a raspberry pi and they had several models, kits and parts. Last time I went in for screwdrivers and I almost left half a paycheck on wiha gear. Anyways, good stuff.

Questions & Answers

Would you have a 37 ohm resistor in stock?

Dennis Murphy | Aug 24, 2021
Scott Smith | Aug 24, 2021

37Ω, at least defined exactly, is not a standard value in ANY resistor value series (E3... E12, E24 .... E96, where the number denotes how many values there are per decade). E24 contains 36Ω and 39Ω. Both are probably stocked although their selection mostly adheres to E12 (10, 12, 15, 18, 22, 27, 33, 39, 47, 56, 68, 82). I'd have to confirm the 36Ω but that'd be the closest value. Also: 15Ω in series with 22Ω OR 68Ω in parallel with 82Ω (small error)

Hi, I am looking a door switch for Lg Microwave. do you cary that.

Mohammad Iqbal | Aug 24, 2020
James Caldwell | Aug 24, 2020

They have electronic parts but I am not sure what you mean by that. They do not have microwave parts, but if you just need the button part then yes.

Do you sell cat5 lan cable speed certification testers?

yongsil alves | Aug 25, 2019
Scott Smith | Aug 25, 2019

They have carried them in the past. Call them to see if they currently stock anything worth calling a certifier.

Do you still have CB & Ham radio equipment ?

Scott Matthews | Aug 25, 2018
Scott Smith | Aug 25, 2018

CB yes, Ham no I should clarify a bit: they carry several CB antennas and mounting accessories and such as well as several radios. They have some antennas intended for amateur radio bands and they carry several AARL publications and manuals and reference books. You will not find Ham transceivers there.

Do you carry samsung leds

Walter Callahan | Aug 25, 2018
Scott Smith | Aug 25, 2018

This is not a communications channel that I believe they monitor. Also your question, like almost all that I've seen here, is too ambiguous... (1) Samsung LED LCD Televisions? Or QLED LCD Televisions? Sure. Call them in the morning and select the menu option for the 2nd floor / consumer electronics. (2) Samsung branded LED light bulbs? Not that I am aware of. (3) Samsung discrete LED devices? Not that I'm aware of. With YDI, they now have a great website but not everything is listed on it. They're a family-owned business and they have something over 30,000 individual SKUs on the shelves ... They're working on it! Call them.

I am looking for 75 inch Sony x900f series. How much is it? And do you guys do financing? And for how long?

Ifeanyi Madumere | Aug 25, 2018
Scott Smith | Aug 25, 2018

Using this particular avenue to ask that kind of question isn't going to help you. Their website doesn't show it, but their website doesn't have everything they stock (yet). Call them after 9:00 AM and choose the option for "consumer electronics / 2nd floor" and ask.

I Am looking for 22 ga wire manual wrappers to store my ten foot extensions

james decalogero | Aug 25, 2018
Scott Smith | Aug 25, 2018

I do not understand exactly what you're asking for. At first it sounded like wire wrapping tools and then the 10' extensions threw me off. I can tell you that you won't find wire-wrapping tools there, but if you've never been there, you owe it to yourself to pay them a visit.

Is there a VGA adapter I can use with a HDMI cable ?

LARRY DOUCETTE | Aug 25, 2018
Joshua Delutis | Aug 25, 2018

They will most likely carry one, I would call or check their website first. If they do not, I know for a fact that your local Staples will carry one, however I highly recommend You-do-it over Staples.

HDMI cable to RCA. Nope... HDMI's HDCP will need an intelligent converter/decryptor. The closet will be a home theater receiver that has HDMI input and multiple outputs and one been a RCA.. I hope that helps..
