Stansifer Radio Co — Local services in Bloomington

I had engine trouble on my way there and didn't arrive till about 6 minutes after closing time and they were still there closing down the store and they unlocked the door and helped me find what I needed without trying to rush me out the door. Just like every other time I've gone there they were very helpful and knowledgeable and helped me find what I needed and also helped me find a work around for something that wasn't a normal stock item. And even though I showed up late they were still very polite and patient and didn't try to rush me out like so many other shop owners would have done. I recommend checking with them before ordering online because the prices are very similar and you can also get good advice and recommendations which is something most online stores can't offer. Keep up the great work and the family business...

You know those cords that just slightly tear from pet bite marks/repeated use over time? The most annoying thing is having to replace an otherwise perfect product just because of one trouble spot.

This is where Stansifer comes in. This is a true electronics shop where they’ll find out exactly what’s wrong and how easily it can be fixed. My cord had a pretty uncommon adapter and voltage(tv power cord) yet the guy at the corner knew exactly how to fix it(and did so in 10 minutes or so). A $10 fix was much cheaper than ordering another online and hoping I got the cord details correct. Also, repairing your cords is way better for the environment anyways.

Next time my MacBook/iPhone charger frays, I’ll be coming back here and spending a quarter of the...

Went in to look around and I was blown away by the selection. Between everything for prototyping small devices to cable of every kind, I'd be surprised if they didn't have what you need in a couple varieties.

I saw some CB and UHF/VHF things too, but this won't be your go-to in-person amateur radio store like HRO. They have all useful gauges of magnet wire, capacitors, a small selection of toroids, and some common mode filters. They also have project boxes and heat shrink wrap that I could see working perfectly for outdoors Meshtastic nodes. I spoke with someone inside and they said they had smaller batteries such as 18650s as well.
