Are you looking for electronic components or surplus electronics gear?

There are a couple of places for vintage gear. One of them is down the road 
aways on Gordon Baker Road. For parts, most of the places I used to know are 
gone: Dominion Electronics (Yonge, S of Wellesley), Arkon Electronics, and 
Active Surplus. I thought Active had relocated when the Queen St. store shut 
down but the website doesn't list them open at a new location.

There used to be 5 electronics parts stores (mostly for new parts) by 
Victoria Park and Gordon Baker: Daiwa, Double H, Active, Electrosonic, and 
Sayal. The only two that may still be in that area are Active (the retail 
outlet of Future Electronics), and Sayal just a little south of Gordon Baker 
on the east side.

A quick Internet search turned up reference to a place called A1 Parts that 
is supposed to be at 609 College Street. I haven't heard of them before so I 
know nothing about them.
