+1 for Rockby. I bought some things from them last month, very well priced and you can find some interesting odds and ends.

300mHz BWD probes for $18.00 is a great deal, I ordered a set yesterday.

Got to meet the B in BWD

I just went across to the website for shit and giggles as I'd never heard of Rockby before.

*Oh, my eyes*

Did they get an extremely drunk, blind person to design their website? If that had included some inappropriate capitalisation I would have treated it as an anti-vaccination site or equivalent.

Most of the electronic surplus places I've seen have worse looking websites e.g. What used to be Bull Electrical down on the UK south coast. They've expanded from the ancient electronic junk from when I occasionally visited to just all kinds of weird junk now by the looks of the site.

I don't care how bad their site looks, it works. They have some good things. I just spent another $80 on stuff I don't need but would be good to have :-)

Rockby's is now on my regular shopping list. It takes a little while from online order to shipping but I suspect that's because everything is manually processed on their end. I don't mind though, I'm not in any hurry. It's usually stuff I don't *need*.
