Below is a list of the best suppliers in North America for antique radio, electronic phonograph, and TV parts and restoration supplies. The intention is to keep this list current with businesses that are known to be up and running and providing good service to the vintage electronics community. Please reply with suggestions for additions/deletions and I will update the list in the first post to keep it up to date. The list is intended for suppliers that meet unique needs in the vintage electronics community, so the big electronics supply houses like Mouser are not included. A similar list which now also includes European suppliers can be found at Radiomuseum: http://www.radiomuseum.org/forum/north_ ... ov_11.html Another similar list for Cabinet Restoration parts can be found here on ARF in the Cabinet Restoration forum : CLICK HEREGeneral all-in-one supplies for antique radios (tubes; capacitors and other passive components; new and vintage controls; schematics; knobs, dial scales, and other reproduction parts; etc.): Antique Electronic Supply ( http://www.tubesandmore.com) Radio Daze ( http://www.radiodaze.com) Mark Oppat's Old Radio Parts ( http://www.oldradioparts.net) Merry Tunes Antique Radios and Parts ( http://www.antiqueradiosandparts.com) Triode Electronics ( http://triodeelectronics.com) Schematics:Nostalgia Air ( http://www.nostalgiaair.org) Radiomuseum ( http://www.radiomuseum.org) American Radio History - Beitman schematics ( http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Beitman-Manual.htm) Dave's Homemade Radios - Beitman schematics ( http://makearadio.com/beitmans/index.php) Pacific TV ( http://www.pacifictv.ca/radioschematics.htm) Early Television Foundation - TVs ( http://www.earlytelevision.org/postwar_ ... grams.html) - see also related pages for prewar and early color TV schematics Sams Technical Publishing ( https://www.samswebsite.com) Dave and Babylyn Cantelon - Just Radios ( http://www.justradios.com) John Kendall - Vintage Electronics ( http://www.vintage-electronics.com) West Florida Components ( http://www.westfloridacomponents.com/Schematics.html) Steve Johnson - The Schematic Man - Photofacts ( https://theschematicman.com) and Antique Radio Schematics ( https://antiqueradioschematics.org) Chuck Schwark - The Philco Repair Bench ( http://www.philcorepairbench.com) SMC Electronics ( http://www.smcelectronics.com/samsmain.htm) A.

I didn't see a section for Test Equipment (Parts, Calibration, Repair, Etc.). I just got my TV-7 D/U back from Daniel Nelson. He restored the meter, did some minor repairs, replaced a missing handle, and calibrated it. I am extremely happy with the results! Daniel Nelson djn@ieee.orgBR, Terry

That might make a good sticky for the test equipment forum.
I'll float the idea with the moderators. We'll also need someone to compile a list of providers.

Moderators are saddened to note that Dean has passed. If anyone notices any discrepancies in this list, please contact moderator Peter Bertini via PM. We will do our best to keep Dean's contributions up to date.This list is darned near 14 years old now. If I had to do it over using the magazines available, I wouldn't have nearly the number of vendors that I do. Understand that a lot of these companies may be long out of business; addresses and phone numbers may have changed; URLs may be no good anymore. Just roll with the punches and do a bit of research on names that don't work well. Here it is: Parts ResourcesCompiled by Dean Huster This is a condensed list compiled from all of the catalogs that I had on hand somewhere around the year 2001 or 2002. It serves as a quick guide for finding elusive parts since many of these oddities are noted as described in the next paragraph. Note that the items offered will change from catalog edition to catalog edition, so the list will be dated and has not been updated after 2001. Companies that carry "surplus" material will change more often than the "regular" suppliers. Some of the catalogs may have been from 1997. Dates in parenthesis after the company name indicate the newest catalog used. If nothing else, this list provides company name, e-mail addresses, s-mail addresses, voice phone numbers and FAX phone numbers. Some of these companies may no longer exist. At least it's a resource that may be handy for you, especially if you're new to electronics or are searching for oddball or obsolete items. This list was originally written on WordPerfect 8.0 and I've spent a lot of time and patience converting it over to be InfoPop compatible so that all of the italics and bold face type comes through. At least give me credit for that. I may have goofed up somewhere. Oops. Too bad. Items in the product listings that are in bold italics are an especially good selection of parts from that vendor or are parts that are hard to find. This information is taken from the vendors' paper catalogs and some information may be somewhat dated. MAT Electronics, Inc.

Radio ShackFt. Worth TX 76102 (No mail-order; Internet or retail store sales only) http://www.radioshack.comElectronics parts and consumer electronics. Radio Shack has the convenience of retail stores all over the country with the disadvantage of sometimes higher prices and alltimes limited parts values. For instance, they may carry a FEW SIP resistor packages, but not a good cross-section of values and styles. Stores vary in size and inventory. What you find in one store you may not find in another. In general, do not count on a Radio Shack employee to be at all knowledgeable in electronics. They may know stereos, TVs and computers, but don't know a thermistor from a thermocouple. Having their big catalog is nice for emergencies, but not for general orders. Their ":Cue:C.A.T." for interfacing their catalog with their Internet site is cute ... but you can't find the "free" device in any of their stores – they're always inconveniently "out". I understand that as of 2003, they will cease any use of a general catalog. If it isn't in the store, you won't find it.

HP info, museums and collectionsSimpson ElectricSimpson electronic and mechanical parts- Simpson Electric may be able to supply replacement parts for current products.
- Simpson has sometimes suggested Scherrer Instruments as a supplier of replacement parts for older Simpson products.
- Instrument Meter Specialties has some replacement parts for Simpson products, including replacement battery contacts for the Simpson 260 VOM.
- Oldaker #581 probes fit the newer Simpson 260 series meters with the reverse-banana connector. Only $14.00.

They made nice test leads in a variety of styles. They were the OEM leads and probes supplier to Triplett for many years.

http://www.classictone.net/ is a good source for Power and Output Transformers. They have "Laydown" power transformers that are an exact fit for old radios, as well as for guitar amplifiers. Many have multiple taps for more possible uses.

The Silvertone site (sf hobbies) is defunct; the domain name is up for sale.
Also, the link to Mark Oppat's site is broken.

SpeakerFabricSupply - https://www.etsy.com/shop/SpeakerFabricSupply, shows this message: " SpeakerFabricSupply is taking a short break Note from shop owner Dear Customer, We've put the shop on hold due to a sudden death in our family. WE'LL RETURN and BE OPEN FOR BUSINESS & ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE SHORTLY. Thank You ", and was last updated over a year ago on June 4, 2017. Every product is listed "currently unavailable". Are they done for good?

Thanks for posting about Speaker Fabric Supply. Because it's been more than a year since their "on hold" posting, one can rightfully suspect this is a business that will not be coming back on line. Would be nice if they would take down the website, post a more recent message on the website regarding the status, or something.
Maybe someone else here knows more about the situation?

Hi Crist,
Those modules look very nice! I've now added you to the list.
