- Personally, the mail-order company I have had the best success with is
- All Electronics Corp. in Van Nuys California, I believe (I don't have one of
- their catalogs sitting in front of me...)
- They have provided excellent service, _very_ reasonable prices ($10 min. order,
- $3.00 ships the order) and a very good selection of components, equipment,
- etc...
