Little rant

Mudlark:
Anyone tried RSComponents lately - I used to use them a lot at one time. They can be expensive on a lot of things but a least the small components are available off the shelf.


Yes it is for businesses but at one time they had a home users depatment - not sure if they have now or not

Bush Tucker Man:
For whatever I've bought I've found the Leeds (& Barnsley) branches just fine.

Leeds is a fairly big store, but awkwardly positioned from this side of the city (got to go past the bus Station)
But I try to combine a trip there with a continuation up to Maureens cafe (on Roundhay Road) for a Goat Curry, Rice & Beans

Ja1983:
I`ve noticed Machine mart seem to be heading for pusshing out the cheap useless carp over their more traditional stock..

companies get greedy, the names and reputations get tarnished, and then they vanish.. Tandy for example, used to be great.. then they went for selling the cheap carp that you can buy for the same (or less) price everywhere else..

RS components wont sell to anyone thats not a business. Thankfully proof you are a business comprises headed paper or an invoice.

RS Sell in quantity which can be a problem, specially on a budget. Rapid electronics are good though and they are one of said companies suppliers too :)

Thrasher:
Tandy is Radio Shack ..... the high street end has gone :( I used to spend many a happy day in Tandy :-)
