ALL ELECTRONICS
IS GOING OUT OF BUSINESS
Clearance Sale in Progress
After 56 years supplying surplus and new electronic parts and supplies, we have decided to call it quits. We expect to close our doors before the end of August, 2023. Our warehouse still contains lots of material which we need to move. Take advantage of our final clearance sale. This is the time to get some real bargains.

Never heard of them Glen...

Glen, yup. I ordered 200 more RCA jacks. $26.58 with shipping. .08 cents each for NOS origonals.
I'll probably never use them, but they'll be unobtainable from here on out.

I dropped 225 real quick. A lot of stuff I'll use in the field. Those crimp ends are a bargain. I paid 1.00 ea for Blue #10 Thomas and Betts spade connectors. Fuckin ridiculous downtown...

 

[Vynuladikt]

That's too bad. I've bought a lot of parts from them over the last couple decades.

 

[George S.]

My order just shipped.

 

[laatsch55]

I bought THOUSANDS of those spade and ring crimp terminals. Put in another order last night ...cheap. .

 

[J!m]

Now I know who to go to…

I did a UPS project for B.A.R.T. in the mid 90's. I'd go out there 2-3 weeks at a time. We worked 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM because the train didn't run then. Not much to do during the day. I visited all of the surplus shops in the San Jose area more than once. Near Berkley there was a surplus shop where I bought some mosfets for a prototype amplifier. I etched the prototype board in the hotel bathtub. Like many projects that amp never got off the ground.

I bought a pile of the RCA jacks from Allelectronics at that time and still have most of them. That's mainly becauswe I refuse to touch a 4000. Back then there were several surplus vendors including Allelectronics. I believe there was also Alltronics.

Last year I did a small project for a waste water plant in the Bay Area. Tried looking up the old surplus shops. Next to nothing. As I recall, Allelectronics was closed for retail sales.
