Well, I am not an expert in any respect, but Dick Smith Electronics may be austrailian based, but there is a big store in my hometown of Greenwood, Indiana (little bit South of Indianapolis) that used to say Dick Smith Electronics on the outside of the building. Over the years, it changed to American Electronics and whereas they have pretty much phased out their kits, and electronic pieceware (surplus), they sell A LOT of Kenwood stereo/amatuer radio stuff now and LOTS of old used equipment..real cheap. It's an okay place to spend a few hours looking through old spare parts and surplus, but once you buy it, don't expect help or any more like what you bought. I guess the moral to this story is : See also American Electronics. If anyone has comments, feel free to post them or email me. P.S. I like the place, because I like to tinker with electronics, but they are pretty much phasing it all out and going to the bigger stuff, I guess it probably generates more income.
