Howdy all,
I have finally decided to take a trip stateside, the place is nice, the people friendly etc etc...but umm...where ohh where are there any decent electronics shops or electronics surplus places in Minneapolis and surrounding areas ? I have searched local phone books etc, but came up with nothing of any substance. Anyone help with some suggestions ? Ohh, I know Digikey is located here somewhere too, anyone know if they have a trade counter ?
Please...nobody mention ratshack...I have already had a dodgy experience there while trying to buy a meter for a wee job I needed to do. I thought I may as well buy a decent meter and keep it as a spare. The bloke described it as their flagship meter...resembled a compass if ya ask me. So I went to a different store with the same name, but this time I didn't even ask the staff for directions to the shelf. I just picked one out, not a Beckman like I'm used to...but not bad for the money, even if they don't sell silicone leads to go with it. $69.00 all told and does just about everything my Beckman does. Except my Beckman is..umm...a Beckman, and I trust it not to blow my hands off while working on high voltage boards ;>)
