[OT?] Google Map with Electronic stores
Don't know if someone had started one already, but I couldn't find one online yet. After reminiscing about electronics stores in the other thread, I collected what was posted on there recently, together with some others that I had already bookmarked, to make a Google Map with Electronic stores in the Mid-Atlantic region from PA to the Mid-Atlantic coast. Had to limit the boundaries, PA is long enough as it is. Any others then it's venturing into the mid-west or southeast. But then New England is represented here since it's local. These are only the retail stores only[eg, walk-in] except for one so far. Because it's a really good supplier of vintage components and that's Unicorn Electronics on my side of PA[online only]. There's probably some online suppliers which have retail storefronts too but I'm not sure. I'm sure there's more out there that we could add to this. If anyone has some more to include, I will gladly add them to the map. This is not a list to judge the quality or extensiveness of their inventory. If they sell parts that's good enough to add to the list. You may notice that I haven't added Radio Shack, even with the dwindling locations and supply, those are pretty obvious to locate. This is setup for public viewing, so more people should be able to find it https://drive.google.com/open?id=1QHBtxc2A8zw9FemLEpYcMIlsvY8&usp=sharing enjoy Dan

Hi Dan, There is very good local electronics store local to me in Pompton Plains in northern NJ. It's called Wayne Electronics and is my "go to" place if I need a part for a project on short notice. They have a decent assortment of TTL & CMOS IC's, discrete components, connectors, wire and lots of other stuff. The also periodically get some vintage radios and test equipment in. The owner is great to deal with.
