Home project; parts sources?

R

Guest
Hello,
I'll admit that my workplace usually gets what I need for the job.
Trouble is, for a small home project, now I need some retail sources of my
own.
I soar hang gliders, these last 27 years. Big fun. Now I just need a
decent rate-of-climb instrument; the cheapies are obnoxious junk, and the
high-dollar contest units are GPS, barographs, speed-to-fly computers and
probably serve in-flight meals; I think we once went Moon-walking with
less.
So where does a guy buy one or two logic chips, assorted caps, LCD
displays, et c. these days? Thanks.

Most of these places are *WAY* better at selling electronic goodies
than designing or maintaining web sites. Several of these web sites
look to have been designed by a gum-smakckin', pierced-nose, high
school sophomore.
If a hardcopy catalog is offered: TAKE IT!

Jonesy, Aaron,
Thanks, that was good help! Found most of what I need. Now if somebody
has a BD442 transistor that they would sell in less than 2000 quantity
lots... :)
