Went looking for some bits at DSE the other day. The assistant could lead me to the soldering section, but I had to locate the parts I needed - she had no clue. Also their boxes of rocker switches were woefully empty - all stolen, she said!
Jaycar is better, but appears to be following the same path. Not surprising - what is the profit on a bag of hand-selected resisters and switches, compared to a one-off sale of an el-crapo radio-controlled helicopter?
