Grimmer's Electronic Supply — Local services in City of Schenectady

I have been dealing with Grimmer's since 1969. The level of customer service simply cannot be compared to any of their competitors. The ingrained product knowledge of the owner is a huge benefit to technicians, whether they work in corporate R&D centers, home entertainment fields, or vintage and antique radio and TV restoration. The product selection is vast and dates back to the 1950s in some cases, balanced by the availability of cutting edge parts and equipment.

I noticed a negative review mentioning racism. From the early 70s through the 90s I in was in Grimmer's if not daily at least twice a week or so. To this day I still stop in for parts or conversation about locating obscure antique parts. I watched the owner help people of all races and walks of life. Everyone was treated exactly the same. Questions were answered politely, no matter how off-base or uninformed they may have been. Products were located for customers, everyone getting as much research time from the owner and staff as they needed to identify their part, and the owner's concern that they got the right part was obvious.

Even argumentative customers were treated with respect. The racism allegation is, to me, astonishing. A good number of the customers in the store at the times when I was there were Black, and they were treated just as I was, and shown just as much courtesy and respect.

However that is just the opinion of someone who has observed Grimmer's in operation for 50 plus years; what...

All I can say 1st class store.

I spoke with the owner on a single resistor (1000v 1a) not only is he the only local shop that had 1 in stock I also could buy individual or in bulk / pack.

This was need for my 2012 Santa Fe interior lights to work properly.

He has, caps, fuses, soldering equipment, tools, xlr jacks / sockets, 1/4" jacks etc. Even if the item isnt out front of the store he has it in the back.

Yes they are available online but I would just assume buying local.

He has a wealth of knowledge, completely honest I most definitely will be back again and again.

If you do any electronic, circuit board, custom work for projects, hobbyist please check him out.

Right on N Brandywine in Schenectady what more could...

Man this place is a gem! Fantastic little electronics store for hard to find electronic components, great for the HAM radio operator and the electronic enthusiast. Also great for pro audio guru's as they carry XLR, 1/4" and various other pro audio connectors. I go here exclusively for all of my soldering and electrical repair components, including everything I need to make custom RF and audio cables....
