They would probably still have some tubes on a back shelf or know where to get them, but I didn't think to ask (and trying to transport them by plane is asking for it!)- This guy is basically your local electronics shop for the hobbyist, all kinds of components and supplies.
Edit: I'd wager a store like that would do really well for the tinkerer in Halifax.. but you might try RAE electronics in Burnside. I usually order all my other stuff from Digi-Key, but if you'd like, I can ask around as I know a few people who support older electronics and might know where to get the stuff locally. |
oh ok,you referred to me as "a fellow Haligonian" in another thread,so i assumed you were local to me,...but you're living away perhaps?...i figured if you had found a place here that actually stocked a ceramic cart...that was a place i should know about!!
i haven't been into RAE in several years,it was usually a wasted stop unfortunately.they always seemed to put more emphasis on commercial/industrial concerns..alltho welcome,they're not really there for the individual in need of a few bucks in parts was always my impression...Jentronics also in Burnside is my store of choice these days...never had a bad experience,friendly,happy to offer advice and usually have what i need,or will order it in if not...found out on my last trip in that the guy on the counter also had experience in restoring radios...very helpful
