[Robotgroup] Electronic Stores

[Paul Atkinson]

Hi Nick,

Welcome! There is a place called M.C. Howard up near Burnet road and 183 that sells used parts. It's not as organized or clean as the mail order places. Also, there is a hamfest (amatuer radio swap meet) this Saturday August 5th, 8am-5pm at IH-35 and 290 at the Red Lion hotel (now called Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza).

There is also Altex on IH35 that sells some electronics, Discount Electronics which sells used computers and accessories, and a few others around town like Mr Laptop, etc.

I end up mail-ordering from Mouser, BG Micro, Digikey, All Electronics, and Electronics Goldmine if all else fails.

I just moved to town a few months ago.  Does anyone know of any stores
in the greater Austin area where I can pick up some electrical
components? (other than radio shack)

I'd love to find something like
American Science and Surplus
http://www.sciplus.com/
or All Electronics
http://www.allelectronics.com/
But the more I look the more I'm getting the feeling that I'm out of
luck.

Thanks
-Nick
