Good place to get electronic components online or nearby?

[Jesset1996.5]

Hello everyone! Im currently looking to get some electronic components for a decent price. Id rather not go sifting through the Shenzhen market or pay an arm and a leg for parts that only cost less than $1.00. Any suggestions? Im mainly looking for axial electrolytic capacitors diodes/ semiconductors and transistors! Ive tryed e bay and other places like that but it mainly in bulk , smd which is way to small for use in an hf radio or  just not enough information there to make shure its the correct part. Any suggestions would be great!  :EDIT: just some information i forgot to include, i live in new boston Michigan. Its about 25 miles from Detroit.

Where are you located? Otherwise we could assume your "nearby" is somewhere around north pole  .

If you are ok buying from surplus stores, one of my go-to places for random parts is BGMicro (if you lived in Dallas area I would also recommend Tanner Electronics, a brick-and-mortar store).

LadyAda created a nice list of surplus stores.

If you are looking from brand-spanking-new parts, then the usual suspects: Newark, Digi-key, Mouser, Verical, etc.

If you guys are curious this is what i need them for. My prc -320 hf radio was unable to lock its synthesizer. I also planed on doing some mods while im at it. Unit #5 was the culprit.110v rail failure! A cap came loose and it overloaded the transistor.  I plan on completely overhauling it with new capacitors since the current ones are old and are starting to not work as well.

There's a good place nearby, just next to the football ground.

A few years ago I found myself in exactly that position when deploying a satellite ground station at the top of a moraine covered plateau in Svalbard at 78degN.

The antennas and radome had been installed prior to my arrival, my job was to integrate and do a full end to end test.

During some on air tests, something wasn't right. I discovered, with the help of my trusty old $20 Radio Shack pen multimeter that I still use daily, a break in the business end of the inner of a 1" diameter coaxial power splitter. I did have a soldering iron, but as I was there for software and light electronics, such as making up inter system cables, no way was my iron going to be able to heat it up well enough.

So I had to source a juicy iron. It took a few hours, but I did manage to get one, I assume it came courtesy of a local plumber. Where there's a will etc.
