Even with RS's dwindled DIY focus, there isn't a big box store anywhere I know of in my area that has a FRACTION of the adapters, much less the switches and components, that RS still stocks.
If RS closed or stop carrying components, where on earth could I go at 8pm on a Friday to get a push-button switch and vibration motor to upgrade my metal detecting pinpointer?
Yes, I'm a geek.
BTW, I used to work at RS right around the time they started changing focus from radio and electronics gear to consumer products. It was sad.
