Circuit Specialists is a good outfit... been around for a long time

About the only place in the Phoenix area to buy **real** parts.

Lucky you. PDX has a Fry's and a little local outfit, but that doesn't
count for real parts. I used to live in the Boston area, 30 minutes
away from an Active store -- that was nice, particularly since it backed
up against Future (same company) & you could get non-catalog items at
the counter if you really needed them.


When I lived in the Boston area Radio Shack was a real parts warehouse
(on Commonwealth Avenue) with a will-call counter (only 45 years ago
;-)

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
