that I can't... 
 That's too bad; they used to be a pretty decent outfit.
 So where does one go for small engineering findings nowadays?  I've
 used McMaster-Carr for some things, but that's not their specialty.

I had seen Small Parts recommended on this list and had high hopes.  I
have now heard about every story in the book and from just about all
levels so I now have my doubts about them.  All of the suppliers I knew
about are now history.
