Hey, all:
I've been thinking it'd be a good idea to buy and set aside some spare
parts for the couple of DEC machines I have around... mostly 7400-series
ICs, some switching transistors and such. It's been a while since I've
bought parts, however. What places (preferably online) have you had good
experiences with?

BG Micro has some. http://www.bgmicro.com as does Jameco
http://www.jameco.com. Both have been around for ages and are fine to deal
with.

If you buy TTL parts from either of the above
sources, they are also likely to date from the
mid-70's, somewhat matching your machine :-).
I won't talk about the house number parts and
unlabeled parts that sometimes show up too!
Amazing quantities of chips from the 70's show
up regularly on E-bay. You know, quantity 100000
of 7407's etc. It's hardly the same as buying
a few spares, though!

The best source for TTL seems to be Unicorn Electronics
for spares as they have a large selection of TTL, 74H
74S,74S and LS and 74L.
