Your first stop should be Digikey.
I have a book full of various projects to build that I'd like to try. I have basically no electronics at home - a few caps and resistors ... but not much. Where is the best place to get electronics on line (radio shack has nothing). Also -- is it better to buy a 'grab bag' full of stuff off the likes of Ebay to start a home inventory and then order the stuff I don't get lucky to get on line from some other source?
Thanks to you both.

There's a small store near the corner of Scott and Walsh in Santa Clara called Anchor, I think, that sells some nice packages of electronics in hobbyist sizes.
When I fly to that area, I will sometimes visit and look around. And buy some things, too.
Also, there is Mouser electronics at

What do you want? You can send me a sheet. Then I can help you.
For the _cheapest_ electronics you can get, troll the dumpsters in tony neighborhoods and industrial parks. ;-)
Good Luck! Rich

17crt monitor for 30 bucks. a small speaker for 25cents. :)ElectronDepot website is not affiliated with any of the manufacturers or service providers discussed here. All logos and trade names are the property of their respective owners.
