Frys Electronics out of business.

When I lived in Burbank I had a Fry's just a few blocks from my apartment. They were great for certain things. If you wanted to buy resistors, capacitors, diodes, etc, where else could you go other than the internet? I needed a variac a few years back, went to Fry's and they had several models to choose from. This is sad news.
There is a toy and hobby store here in Indy called Hobby Lobby, lots of RC cars, air planes, model cars and other stuff. They have a section of one row in the store labeled as The Radio Shack Aisle. There they have a selection of resistors, capacitors, switches, dials, solder, flux,,, probably less expensive buying options on the internet, but it is handy to have a local source.
