If you want to peruse a catalog of weird (and some scary) stuff, click on the link "Amazing Devices" in the Electronics column.

general parts:

A1 Electronic Parts in Toronto, http://www.a1parts.com/
Interesting comments about their store last night.  I've never been there but have ordered many times from their website.  Large inventory, good prices & fast shipping.

Electronic Goldmine in Arizona, https://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/
They have a large inventory of standard parts plus ever-changing assortment of odd items.  You never quite know what you're going to find, but there are some real bargains on the website.  You can sign up for a weekly flyer if you want to see all the new arrivals.

toroids:
Palomar Engineers in California, https://palomar-engineers.com/
Great source for ferrite toroids, RFI kits, chokes & baluns & other related stuff.  They do not sell powdered iron toroids, only ferrite.  Lots of technical info on the site.

Amidon Associates, also in Calif., http://www.amidoncorp.com/
Another good source for ferrite products, also powdered iron toroids if you need them e.g. for a filter.  Good selection of books on use of ferrite and iron inductors.

A couple of other neat sites you may not be familiar with:

Far Circuits in Illinois, https://www.farcircuits.net/
specializes in making & selling printed circuit boards.  They sell virtually all PCBs from projects in ARRL Handbooks, QST magazine, etc. , also boards for Heathkits and other older rigs.  They will also make you a PCB from artwork you supply.

Fair Radio in Ohio, https://fairradio.com/
has a huge inventory of vintage equipment & parts, mostly military.  So if you're into WW II rigs & you need a knob for your BC-348, this is the place to look.]]> 73
