Electronics & Camera Retailers in Seattle, WA

MicroCenter in Paterson?

[IEI - Interstate Electronics](http://www.interstateelectronics.com/) always has a wide selection of stuff. It's not really little electronics doodads like you'd find at Radio Shack. You find those heavy duty batteries they use in medical equipment, networking equipment (lots of ethernet, punchdown tools, etc), soldering equipment, strobe lights/car audio-visual stuff, etc. It's a neat little store.

I can't help with the electronics shops in the area but you're not too far from Newton where you can find [Andre's](http://www.andresrestaurant.com/). you're also probably not too far from [Mohawk House](http://mohawkhouse.com/) in Sparta.

I can't tell how that one mounts from the photo but this one will work it you can mount it http://www.mcmaster.com/#8001k54/=10dtlsk

I know http://www.allelectronics.com sells switches.

http://www.repc.com/ These guys probably have it and are a great resource.

Progressive Tech would probably sell you some. They are mega accomodating.

Vetco in Bellevue would have it.

i know the radioshack in West Seattle has it because I bought it there a couple months ago. I'm pretty sure they all do because it was radioshack branded. the guys that stand there and try to sell you cellphone contracts won't be able to help you find it though so good luck. took me about 5 minutes.

Some RadioShack's and Fry's should have it.

Radio shack sells it, check it here http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2216879 http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2216880

Fry's in Renton should almost certainly have it.

University Bookstore tech area has it. It's like $6.

Fry's. Fry's has everything. I love Fry's.

Just about all of them. They are all over the place. The type will vary though.

Enjoy: http://www.panelook.com/ You'll need to contact the manufacturers directly, so maybe talk up your production quantity when asking to buy samples.

You're fighting economy of scale. Your best bet may be to find a closeout / used lots (end-of-lease) bunch of same monitors and harvest.

There is not really a normal distributor for panels, even if you want to do small scale commercial runs. Panels are no commodity and most manufacturers do just custom panels, as there is no real demand for OTS panels.

> They also seem to be mainly sold as replacement parts for specific monitor/laptop models, not just as generic components This is correct. There's virtually no market in bare panels other than this.

maybe look on ebay for monitors with missing/broken stands or damaged plastic housing.

If you don't mind chopping up a working monitor, they can usually be found at thrift stores for a few bucks.

When I broke my laptop screen I went to some generic site, cant remember the name, laptopscreens.com or something. Anyways, those would work nice for hobbies. You can choose the resolution, gloss or matte, ect and you get just the LCD panel. I believe it cost me $40 for my replacement 1080 p screen. Edit: the website is www.laptopscreen.com

It's called the same right? Seattle Photography Club? Cause I joined Seattle Photography Group on meetup

Cherise, this is the Seattle Photography club on FB. Go to http://www.seattlephotographyclub.com

I highly recommend the ThinkTank Shape Shifter: http://www.jflphotography.com/.../thinktank-shape.../

Kenmore Camera has a great selection.

It's possible that Re-PC might have some of that. Although they do focus more on computers than general electronics, I've seen a few old 80's tape decks and VCRs on several occasions.

[Hawthorne Stereo](http://www.hawthornestereo.com/) carries vintage A/V equipment--speakers, receivers, turntables, reel-to-reel, 8 tracks. I've spotted a few oddities from the 70 s/80 s on occasion.

Salvation Army at 1010 4 th Ave S, Seattle, WA 98134. Usually stereo stuff is in the back on the shelves, other electronics in the bins. Check to the right of the registers on the side of the store, there is another section with older stuff. The Goodwill in Renton at 3210 NE Sunset Blvd, Renton, WA 98056 has the biggest selection IMO. It's on the shelves when you go in make a left. The one in Tukwila at 1174 Andover Park W, Tukwila, WA 98188 has some stuff as well. Look in the glass display cases, usually the smaller electronics are in there. The selection changes as new stuff comes in at all these places. Also, garage sales.

You also might find some older stuff at Vetco Electronics over on 124 th in Bellevue. There's more like some vintage test gear, not so much A/V there.

Our basement?

Dodd Camera by Kenwood!

Try www.amazon.com lol

If you're looking for a camera store in Portland, I've been to Camera World. It's near Pioneer Square.

Pro Photo Supply has a nice selection, but they aren't shy about prices.

Pro Photo Supply is the biggest store in Portland. NW 19 th and Marshall. The downtown trolley is a block away.

The folks at Pro Photo Supply have been very helpful when I've been there.
