5200 A/V mod - where in NJ to get parts?

MODS: If this would be better in the 5200 forum, feel free to move me.

 

For years I've wanted to add an A/V out to one of my 5200s. A recent post inspired me to get off my butt and do it already.

 

So, I went to Radio Shack this evening to gather the parts. Not at all surprising, they don't carry everything I need.

 

Have any of you done this mod? For any of you in the NJ area, where do you usually find the parts you need for projects like this?

 

Thanks. I'll be waiting for the answer, soldering iron in hand...

Your best bet is to get the part online:

 

http://www.digikey.com/

http://www.mcmelectronics.com/welcome.jhtml

http://www.mouser.com/

 

http://www.jdr.com/interact/default.asp

 

All these companies are very reputable.

 

If you really need to walk into a store, the only decent one I know of in NJ is Active Electronics on Rt70 in Cherry Hill.

Thx Dan,

I wanted to actually do the job last night; I didn't want to wait for the parts. Obviously that didn't happen.

 

I'll definitely make a note of those sites/shops. Thanks for the info.
