I have been using cheap ADB cables for S-video cables in my video work. I
have found all the ADB cables I need for $1 each at the Eugene, Oregon
Goodwill store.

How about mice, do they have those too?

What about teardrop shaped kind? Most I find are two wedge kind,
these all I have now, would like one.
I've rarely had a problem coming up with
keyboards and mice
for Macs, but the cables are a whole different story.
More power to you!! None of this is like this in kingston, ontario, I
must buy up ADB Macs if cheap enough to get those ADB keyboards I
desire. Rarely locally, looks like I have to do it via Ebay, which
I'm unhappy with canadian/USA exhange rate.
When I visited rochester NY, I can buy all what I want on Macs parts
at local CR store which I regettably didn't! :-P Which I will not
have chance for long time since my only friend lived there moved out.
I've often
wished that Apple had done like most manufacturers and permenantly
attached the cable, which they did on their later 'Design' series
keyboards.
Oh, I favor deatchable for easier repair and transport. Also comes
out on the sides not on rear so I could shove the keyboard hard
against anything without putting a crimp on the wire that I always
do with peecee keyboards. That's product of my limited space and
move machines around frequently.
Tip: if you have iffy keyboard and mice that goes out with a wiggle
on ADB connectors, resolder the two connectors where pins goes
through circuit board. I did that on mine.

Have you ever been to Forest City Surplus in London? I know they used
to have lots of electronics surplus... 420 km should only take you
about 2 hours going at 401 speeds. ;-)
The Gilbrator Trade Centre is in the same spot. It's a flea market that
is only open on weekends.
And it is a lot closer then rochester...

Nice...Mucho appreciated. The fastest transportation available for
affordable cost is VIA. No car and yet to get license (i'm
28) and unemployed. 2 hours takes me around the lake to toronto
(round trip is appox $70 same day for kingston-toronto) and about 20
minutes to Bransford where intitution I grew up there, maybe another
30 minutes to London. I wonder if rail does go there?
And it is a lot closer then rochester...
True and IN Canada!

Hi,
Yes, right to downtown London. Then you take a bus down Dundas street.
There is also a Greyhound depot in the same area. I one took the Greyhound
all the way to Toronto.
But I would make sure they had what you were looking for before making the
trip...

As you may remember I'm in Toronto and there are several good surplus stores.
When I was in one today they had both ADB and SVHS cords for Can$2 (IIRC)
and Mac mice for $10 including some tearshaped ones.
Shipping from Toronto to Kingston is not much so I could pick up what isn't
available
in Kingston for you here. Contact me off-list if you are interested.
