Lafayette Electronics Supply — Local services in Lafayette

I was pretty excited to learn a town as small as Lafayette had a small electronics store like this. I went a little over a month ago looking for some odd value capacitors to repair my LCD monitor. The staff was somewhat helpful- there were three employees in the store and they seemed to just be hanging out. Honestly, I felt a little like I interrupted them by walking in.

They didn't have the part I wanted in stock, which was not surprising or unexpected, it was an uncommon value. They suggested I try to order it online. I figured I'd ask if they could order it for me, and they said sure and then they took my name and number. I never heard from them again.

If you need a common component or cable, you could try them out, their stock isn't too bad and they seemed to know what they were talking about.

If you really need it today drive to Fry's Electronics in Indy that...

this store has lots of electronics related supply's, of course, but not really anything i've ever needed, like the other guy who said they never have what i need, and i can't support them. radio shack had a better selection, and i wish they were still here.

the reason i give 3 stars is because the staff i have dealt with has never been very knowledgeable about even basic electronics. they are just people to help you find what you need,...
