Can anyone help me find a supplier for SCART video connectors in the USA?
Maplins in UK has them but wants almost $100.00 (!) flat fee for handling
on international orders.
Are there any UK vendors with their feet on this planet? In a pinch, is
there a cctech reader overseas that wouldn't mind being a middleman? I
don't want to pay $100.00 for the service, but wouldn't mind a few
bucks/pounds for overhead :-).

I'm actually glad I didn't have to deal with this crap here, but anyway ...
Maplins in UK has them but wants almost $100.00 (!)
flat fee for
handling on international orders.
Mouser and Futureelectronics have them for $1.95, but no stock. Did you
try to get a lead time on them ?
Another idea is, to get some of the converter boxes and desolder it if
you need it fast. Check Newark for that, they have them in stock.
And if you really desperate and can wait, I could get you one in Europe
when I'm there again.

I've not looked, but I would think Farnell would have them
(http://www.farnell.com). Now, they probably have a flat fee for things
orderd in the US (in the UK we have to pay a flat fee of \pounds 15.95
per order for 'extended range' items from the US), but it may be more
easonable that Maplins.
What connectors do you want? Plugs, socksts, cables?

A hearty thanks to all who've responded! I have a SCART switchbox on the
way to me from a list reader and was able to locate some very reasonably
priced cables on eBay.
I really enjoy the spirit of helpfulness that abides on this list!
Happy New Year to all.
