American Science & Surplus is a pretty slick place where you never know what you'll find. They had a Norden Bombsight in a case along the right wall, but I never could find the rest of the bomber. Thursday is the only weekday that I can get there in time from work because they stay open until 6:30 PM. They really came in handy when I needed chemistry supplies for potting circuit boards.

now that's gotta be the best price I've seen on a 80 position snake!

I lived right down the street from Marvac in Costa Mesa.. Man I spent some money there

Hi there! If anyone’s looking for solid electrical services in the Burnaby or Vancouver area, I recently came across PTX Expert Electric https://www.ptxexpertelectric.com/

They handle a full range of work — residential wiring, panel upgrades, commercial lighting, EV charger installs, and even 24/7 emergency electrical repairs. What stood out to me was how organized and professional their crew was, plus they really seem to know the local BC electrical code inside and out.

Not exactly a parts shop, but if you're looking for licensed electricians in Canada who do reliable fieldwork, they're worth bookmarking — especially if you work with clients who need a referral in that region.
