Electronics parts store. I'm looking for some Schottky diodes for a mini wind turbine project I'm building. Are there any electronics stores or solar panel sellers that stock them?
I miss radio shack

Where can I buy DIP chips like the 6502, RAM, etc.? I'm kind of new to electronics, and I don't know that many website where you can buy parts. I know LCSC, but they only offer SMD RAM chips, which is inconvenient for prototyping on a breadboard, and also a local store that doesn't have that big of a selection (it's more focused on robotics, whereas I'm focused on computing).
Are there any European online stores that sell electronics parts like this? (they don't have to be strictly European, I just need cheap shipping to European countries).

Arrow.com doesn't necessarily have the best selection, but they do have free international shipping, no minimum order. You still get burned by customs fees, but still an amazing deal. Great prices too Edit: nvm they changed their shipping policy. I'm not surprised; there's no way they were making money off small orders before.
A store to purchase electronics parts? I’m looking for a store like radio shack where you can buy small electronics parts for diy projects. I would like to build a project box audio source selector. Anyone know any reputable shops?

Arrow.com carries all of the normal doodads (passives, transistors, ICs, switches, connectors) as well as sparkfun and adafruit's lines. Shit ships overnight for free. Otherwise: Microcenter. And any A/V repair shop will also sell whatever parts they have, which might be closer to wherever you are.
Switch parts I have been getting into building my own switches I know it's not practical but it's fun. I've been using the housing from extra cherry mx switches for prototyping, but that's not a very practical solution because I only have 3 extras and can not try multiple things and compare them without disassembling them every time. I've done a bit of looking and can't find housing for switches sold separately. I thought if anyone you guys would know where to get them and thanks in advance.
TLDR: I want to buy switch housing separately instead of buying switches just for the housing.
Edit: I do not have access 3d printer good enough to print the housing
