269 Electronics - Canal street, NYC



Tucked away inside a perfume, watch luggage and fake iPod store on Canal street is "269 Electronics" - if you're in NYC and need electronic tools at "ok" prices and selection 269 is one of the few places. They also have kits (mostly velleman kits) as well as some rare parts. Today the quest was for some NT42/44s and while they're not that hard to find they had them, score. More photos here - Link.

The owner @ 269 was very helpful to me when I was getting into electronics. He also told me about how that whole store was all electronics back in the 80's!
I suggested he try stocking some µcontroller devices/kits.
If you go,be sure to check out the glass display cases, I've found some good stuff in there.

That's my kind of candy store! - I'm still looking for a place like this in the Seattle area.
