Hi All,
         Last year, Ted R. was kind enough to point out to me the Radio Shack
on-line store. It is much more like a real parts place (old timers think
Lafayette, Arrow, Allied, etc.) than the current generation of RS parts
boutiques. Here in W.VA, even the managers are pretty hopeless, unless you are
just buying a pre-assembled "appliance".
Hope this helps,

Matt D.
