Where Can You Find Rare Electronic Parts?

Posted by Cliff on Wednesday September 18, 2002 @07:07PM from the finding-replacement-electronics dept.

Famos Amos asks: "I recently blew a fuse on an old Phase Linear 400 stereo amplifier, and have since been on a journey around NY state and the web looking for an AGX-style fuse (8amps, 125v or 250v, 1"X1/4" cylinder style). I've been turned away by stereo repair specialty stores, online electronics warehouses, and Radioshack among others. I was wondering if anyone in the Slashdot community knew where I could obtain such an unusual item?" If you know of a store or website that sells AGX-style fuses or other hard-to-obtain or surplus electronic parts, list them here!

fix the amp first... by Bazman · 2002-09-18 23:19 · Score: 4, Insightful

You don't want to keep blowing new fuses, so make sure you fix whatever was causing it to blow in the first place! It might be harder to find a replacement for the broken component (if that's what it was) than the fuse...
