Someone sent me the address/phone number of Active Electronics a while back, but I seem to have misplaced it. Information doesn't have an 800 number listed for them. Anyone have a contact for me so I can get a catalog? While we are at it, what are good mail-order parts companies (primarily digital ICs) that have good selections, prices and little or no minimum order size? I have catalogs from: Jameco Digi-Key JDR Microdevices / Brian Totty o o /__ __ o 1304 W. Springfield Avenue o / / / / Urbana, IL 61801 \_/ "We have corn in /__/ / / totty@cs.uiuc.edu Massachusetts too!"

While we're on the subject, what do people think of All Electronics ?
Are their IC's new ? Grey market ? (if such a thing exists)
I bought some transformers and simple TTL's from them recently.
One of the transformers seemed DOA. The chips seemed to work ok, but
the leads were dull and I was a little suspicious of their origin.
(The other vendors mentioned, Active, JDR and Jameco, I've had uniformly
good experiences with. Active has big markups, but it's local and
has a reasonable inventory, and the staff is professional.)

In general their prices are quite good. To respond to Jon: All Elex, and probably most surplus dealers, have old ICs, pullouts or whatever. Sometimes, this can be a big win: just a couple months ago, I needed about 75 pieces of an 'HC374. NOBODY in retail had it in stock -- I tried Mouser, Active, and several other dealers. Finally I called Jameco, and they shipped me the parts in two days. Sure, they were 1984 dated-coded, but they worked fine! - Fred Martin MIT Media Lab

Grey market ? (if such a thing exists) Surplus, I think, probably some pulls from equipment. I like them, but you have to be ready to put up with surplus parts. Except for things like used PC boards that they tell you are busted, they are willing to take back things that don't work (they even include a note to such effect with every order they ship (at least every order I've received)).
