Yet another electronics surplus company is going out of business: https://www.allelectronics.com/ After 56 years supplying surplus and new electronic parts and supplies, we have decided to call it quits. We expect to close our doors before the end of August, 2023. I depended on them, BG Micro and others for great parts and really low prices. They regularly advertised in electronics magazines (Popular Electronics, Radio Electronics, Nuts and Volts). Any news if Bee Lancaster will continue selling on ebay? -- jeff jonas

My childhood involved their catalogs and planning out projects based around their surplus parts. Bummer! - Ethan
I am putting an order together now. I haven’t seen their advertising a long time! Sent from: My extremely complicated, hand held electronic device.

As was mine. I even have some of the stuff still in original plastic baggies from them (projects I never got around to complete) Jim -- RETRO Innovations, Contemporary Gear for Classic Systems www.go4retro.com store.go4retro.com
The hacking and vintage computing hobby has grown, not shrank. There are difficulties getting parts overseas. Is there not enough market in the us for parts suppliers? Or is it that we're continuing to see consolidation due to amazon and Alibaba? So let's say the market is at least steady...should we be blaming ourselves for using amazon?

I have bought quite a few items from them over the years. I hit the retail store in Van Nuys when my wife had a conference in San Diego. I got a bunch of S-100 edge connectors for $1.75 each. I also hit C & H surplus in Duarte, CA on the same trip and bought a bunch of stuff but they also closed their storefront. The still have an eBay store though. I also hit Apex Electronics in Sun Valley, CA which is still open. I bought a bunch of IMSAI style front panel switches (removable black paddle) and a box of S-100 prototyping boards. So if you are in the LA area and love treasure hunting through racks of boxes up to the ceiling and a big tech junkyard in back, Apex is the place to go and it’s still open for business.

When I was in the television business between 1980 and 2000, I used to order parts from Universal-Semi conductors, which was up in Sparta New Jersey. I even met the owners Orrin and Adele. I once had a conversation about purchasing their business, many years ago of course, I could not do that purchase at the time. “They” sell on eBay, I’m sure it’s not the original owners. But they still have components that I could use on the old TV -VCR stuff and more! Mike R. Sent from: My extremely complicated, hand held electronic device.
