The key word here is *Repair*.
but but but... go to their website. Their logo states
"Maplin, the
electronics specialist" :-)
We have the same kind of stores here, other than a few things

Hmm, which makes me wonder if we shouldn't have a
section on the
classiccmp website for recommended places to get spares/components from?
Also how many items are in stock would be useful too for spares.
