Hi all, I've read most of the threads in this part of the forum, and bookmarked a fair number of sites...
However, I'd like to know what the Aussies around here regard as good sources for specialist components (esp. caps, resistors, even tubes) that are above the generic level and can't be had from Jaycar, Altronics, DSE etc. For overseas sources I'd also be interested to hear which ones have reasonable shipping charges/times.
I've been purchasing from overseas (mostly eBay) a few times, but have a feeling I might be missing something a bit more dependable and closer to home. I'd appreciate if Aussie tinkerers could share their sources...
Cheers Steffen.

dotnet Add W.E.S in Ashfield www.wescomponents.com/Ampslab . www.ampslab.com/ - Excellent service. Soundlabs www.soundlabsgroup.com.au/ Pricey, but good service. BTW, DSE is getting out of components to become a JB HI-FI clone. Gore Hill store still has some stock, but dwindling fast. I believe St Ives still has some stuff too.Check the DSE website for stores that SUPPOSEDLY still have stocks. Alex

Alex,you should do an "Aussie" specific section in the DIY Links area,an area due for a MAJOR revamp anyway.I'm thinking a member from certain countries/continents can do their contrymen a favor by adding the favorite links and we can break it down by area.
when I get the time (headed out folks :') i will separate my "general information" type links from "parts sources" links which are mostly USA based so members can find what they need easier

Thanks guys, there are some really nice sites there!
Hehe, I was thinking more like Domayne or HN, seeing that they're selling microwaves, coffee machines and vacuum cleaners now...
Cheers Steffen.
