Greetings!
Hippy posted info on a yard solar unit that might be useful in a PICAXE project. This prompted me to suggest that we should pool our knowledge of places to get cheap/unique parts for our projects. (Maybe this has already been done.)
I live in rural Colorado. To go somewhere (Denver) to get parts I need is a five hour drive. The internet is the place to go...obviously!
So, I suggest we pool/share our collective knowledge (on a worldwide basis) of those sites we have had good experiences getting those "treasures" that make electronics a great hobby !
To kick this off, I offer the sites I use regularly and hope that others will share their favorites..in no particular order..
