MRAM Engineering Surplus & Appliance Parts — Local services in West Melbourne

Stopped for the first time at MRAM. Was greeted by the counter clerk, Jason Patterson. A friendly, knowledgeable person, invited us to browse. Began walking around the store. Tight layout, a labyrinth of sorts. Hearkened to hardware stores of yesteryear. And note-ably includes electrical appliance parts. My mind was then blown away. New electronic components packaged for sale and neatly ordered. Nothing missed, resistors to processors. Linear to digital, signal level to power including optoelectronics. Product line and packages unique to MRAM. WOW! Like the back aisles of Radio Shack on steroids. Continued to another room, computer parts, of wide vintage; genre. Tastefully sprinkled about were antique electronic treasures like old table radios etc. And yet another room- I am now in shock. "Let's check outside" motions my wife. Out-back we have an electronic junkyard of sorts . . . and sorts, and sorts! Under tents, we found everything from bathroom scales to missile radio test sets, X-ray machine control console. Absolutely unbelievable, By now I am hovering above my body, there is a heavenly chorus in the air, as the scent of roses touches my nose. Okay back to earth now, IF YOU ARE INTO ELECTRONICS YOU MUST GO HERE. Oh yea, and if your wife complains about the oven not heating go here also. These people are doing for our world what has been needed for years, they are acting responsibly with the technology that has intertwined itself into our lives. The same technology that cripples, our recycling efforts. The same technology that threatens our groundwater has now been diverted into the lives, minds, and hands of aficionados like myself. I am...

I had pretty good experience here. I am not knowledgeable on electronics by any means. When the USB cable on my portable arcade stick got severed I went out on a limb to find a local electronics store that might have a replacement part. The actual replacement part online had been sold out and unknown when a restock would come.

We weren’t able to find the part exactly, but the gentleman working there was able to help me splice together the fragile mini wires within the cable by soldering it and patching it together. The splicing was something I attempted at home prior, but gave up since I had no experience and finesse in manipulating the smaller wires without it breaking apart.

We were able to test the connection on the PC in the store by showing that device was recognized. It has been some time since then and the arcade stick still functions fine with the patch. The price was ultimately less than buying a new cable online.

In short before giving up and trying to buy a new device together, I think it is real nice that there is a place like this which may have parts or people knowledgeable and willing to help...

Jason is EXTREMELY knowledgeable on everything electronic it seems, it’s pretty impressive. He takes the time to share extra info on each part I have needed and also price compares. He has the best selection in appliance parts, so much so that two other electronic and appliance repair part stores referred me to him! I’ve purchased two appliance parts there in the past couple of months and he has exceeded my expectations and had exactly what I needed each time. Don’t be too shocked at the plethora of parts and the narrow pathway to move about, Jason knew exactly where to find the part I needed in the ‘organized chaos’. It appears that they definitely have plenty of inventory, I have no arguments with that! When I saw some reviews about not receiving the best greeting when entering the store but honestly, this isn’t Starbucks… I’d prefer having someone extremely knowledgeable and knowing what the heck they are doing and how to help you properly with the part you need over being bent over not being greeted as I walk in, any day! I HIGHLY recommend this place,...
