emerging practices

While I love getting packages in the mail, it also is a little disheartening that the best place to find electronic parts is online. I hear Radio Shack is getting out of the components business and they’re even changing their name to just “The Shack,” which is probably one of the dumber names for a store that sells electronics. The wonderful Tim Scaffidi gave me the business card of a local Buffalo business that sells electronic parts, and has pretty much anything you might need.

I dropped by Radio Equipment Corp.’s Tonawanda showroom (196 Vulcan Street) yesterday morning and wandered around for about a half hour. I only ended up buying a couple LEDs and some coin cell holders, but needless to say, I’m convinced. I promised the (friendly, helpful) cashier to mention their store to my friends. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. I knew a place like this had to be hiding somewhere in Buffalo!
