I'm going to build a very basic ultrasonic cleaning tank based on a
555 and using a piezoelectric tweeter (which I will probably have to
waterproof somehow).

I live in San Diego, CA, and welcome any suggestions for a reliable
parts supplier, either local or on the Web.

Anybody 'less expensive' than Radio Shack? (I read an NG comment that
they have such tweeters for around $5, but have found piezo tweeters
for about $3.80 on the net and, since I am temporarily on disability [
get this: black widow spider bite, siezure, dislocated shoulder, two
operations! <G> ], cost is a concern.

me know.

Digikey, at www.digikey.com

Try to order all your parts at once, so you have at least a $25.00 order.
(They charge an additional $5.00, I think, for orders <$25.00.)
 
Everybody is less expensive than Radio Shack :)

For wide selection:
www.digikey.com
www.mouser.com

For low prices and surplus:
All Electronics Corp.
Halted Specialties
And numerous others that advertise in the magazine Nuts & Volts.

A late reply, but if you find yourself in a bind and need something local,
you might try Gateway Electronics east of Clairemont Mesa off of Ruffin
Road.
