I'm operating on the assumption that every one knows about www.goldmine-elec.com. I've had good service from them. Their selection is wide/varied/weird but some excellent prices on some items that we in particular are interested. I'd avoid their "tools"(probably from China,UGGH!), and as always,shop comparatively;but look at their semiconductors and cap's and switches, excellent! Downloadable pdf catalog and update flyer every two months. I am in no way associated with their business, other than as a customer(neutral party). Also check out www.allelectronics.com. I use to work across the street from them in L.A. ; it was hard not to spend the whole paycheck there sometimes; a weird and wonderful selection, but shop comparatively, they ain't saints. Never shop RadioHack again. We should create a list of vendors recommended/rejected or also put an alert section when some vendor has a chip we would all want. Check 'em out. Crystaltech56
