You can catch them at the bigger Hamfests as well. Nice people but also a bit on the expensive side for the larger items.

Thanks to DoctorDialtone, Manny, Rt169Radio for the heads up regarding Cables & Connectors.

Now that I've gotten a rough idea of their location, I'll make it a point to look for it next time I'm going down the Berlin Turnpike. My wife can spend hours looking for clothes in the Savers store down the road, so now I'll have a new place to hang out, besides Lentini's. Thanks again!

The ultimate "toy store" for just about any connector, component, power supply or gadget you can think of. When the owner recognized in the 90's that Radio Shack was getting away from selling all of those components, he very wisely opened a store to fill the void. Peg Boards and Walls full of "stuff".

If you remember Hatry's or Signal Center - you get the idea.

I too bought my very first Scanners, CB's, Short Waves, Antennas and Crystals from Lentini in the 70's. Good people, outdone by the Internet on pricing.
This sounds like a worthy trip. I bought from Hatry's back in the 70's and miss the classic RS stock. Thanks
