Power Supplies Wall Warts Low Voltage Regulated Power Supplies Sources All Electronics Corporation  Excellent source of surplus items, low to medium quantities. Allied Electronics  Excellent full line distributor. All-Spec  Looks like a good source for tools, equipment, supplies. I have not ordered from them yet. Alltronics  Excellent source of surplus items, especially the esoteric. B.G. Micro  Excellent source of surplus items, especially for older but still interesting ICs. Cheap-Chips  My own site - Mainly older hard to find linear devices. Digi-Key Corporation  The best full-line distributor (in my humble opinion). Electronic Goldmine  Great source of surplus and unusual stuff - check this site regularly! Jameco Electronics  Specialty supplier of electronics and computer items - great for PC interface cards. Marlin P Jones & Associates  Wide variety of new and surplus items. Tools and test equipment too. I have one of their hot air soldering stations. It works well and is reasonably priced. Mouser Electronics  Another full line distributor. Although I have not ordered from them, others give them a good recomendation. Newark Electronics  Another excellent full-line distributor. I use them whenever Digi-key doesn't have what I want. Timeline Inc.  A great source for alphanumeric LCDs - other surplus, mainly devices, modules, very few components.
