My Fry's still has a pretty good amount of electronic "maker" stuff, about 4 retail isles including the test equipment. Of course, that's 4 isles in something like 200k sq ft of "stuff", but it's an awful lot more than anyplace else.
- linker3000 11y agoI was in The San Jose (Hamilton) store a couple of weeks back, looking for the Tenma logic probe that their web site said was in stock, but neither myself or the staff could find it. I suspect they didn't really know what it was. I wanted the probe for a 6502-based replica of the Acorn System 1 I am building.
