NJC 17 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Wow, I totally forgot about goldmine elec. I used them years ago! They were great back then. Perfect for the weird parts you only need once. I haven't even gone to their website in over 6 years. Lol. NJC Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mac 67 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I know this is an old thread but the discussion about surplus electronics outlets got me thinking and I was wondering if there is anyone old enough to remember Poly-Paks which I believe was somewhere in Mass?

bluehash 1,581 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I don't, but there is a You Do It Electronics close by. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I remember some 20 years ago there was a nice place in Woburn MA, lots of good stuff to pick through. Another good place was Active Electronics, out of few stores I have been to (LI NY, MA, Toronto,) the one in Montreal was the best. All those great places are gone now.

zeke 693 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 FYI, Active is still around. It's now called Active Tech. There's one here in Calgary and it's in the original location. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fe2o3Fish 33 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Mike, I certainly remember Poly-Paks -- dealt with them a time or two but, daggummit, those memories are on backup tapes. Man, it's been a number of DECADES. I may have an old issue of Popular Electronics with their little ad in it. Locally (around Dallas, TX) we have BGMicro and Tanner Electronics. Tanner's is a great place to wonder about, get lost, and get into trouble at the register. I do it as often as possible. :-) -Rusty- Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jsolarski 94 Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 ANother great surplus store is American Science and Surplus http://www.sciplus.com/index.cfm I'm happy that there is one not far from me. Check this Traffic Light out. Crap missed the sale by 12 hours lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JMLB 24 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 FYI, Active is still around. It's now called Active Tech.There's one here in Calgary and it's in the original location. Nice! I will be in Ottawa next month, will definitely visit the store. The things there are quite over priced and the employees are not very knowledgeable. for example: I asked them if they had any micro controllers they had no idea what I was talking about. After explaining some more and telling them a chip you can program, they tried to sell me this 300$ dev board. I browsed the store though and found they had Basic stamps and freeduino. I only go there if I need something now or if there is a sale going on and I don't bother asking for help finding things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
