I often use Altronics in Auburn as I work near there. I have found them to
be much better then DSE and Jaycar and reminds me of the way those two
other
stores used to be. They also have the advantage of having the warehouse
there so if what you are looking for is not kept on the shelf, they can
usually just quickly get it from the warehouse out back.

Auburn, melbourne? Do you have the address?

DSE PENRITH powerhouse in Sydney has Jack all components.
No complete set of resistor values, just a scattering of
semiconductors.
Kits are still there but really for their flagship store in the
Western suburbs, Jaycar is sooo much better.

Ah, it's been that way for more than decade.

I'll second that, the Sydney Altronics store is very good. Much more
professional feel than Jaycar.

BTW, I heard that the Jaycar warehouse will be moving from Silverwater
to Rydalmere in the not too distant future.
Soanar (yet another Jaycar subsidiary) are already there.

For anyone who might pop into the Macquarie Centre DSE PowerHouse store
for the
odd component, switch or connector, they have dropped all components,
connectors, switches, lamps etc entirely. The shelves are bare (or not
even
there anymore).

I've been to a couple of DSE stores around Brisbane, looks like they getting
rid of kits too - lot's of specials.
