The list below shows suppliers in North America for parts and restoration supplies for antique radios, electronic phonographs, tape decks, and TVs. This list is intended for suppliers that serve unique needs in the vintage electronics community, so the big modern electronics supply houses like Mouser, Newark, and Digi-Key are not included. This list will be edited and kept up to date as new information becomes available. Please contact me via email if you would like to recommend another supplier to add, or if you have had any problems with a listed supplier or find that a supplier is no longer in business. A similar list is being maintained on the Antique Radio Forum here: ARF Supplier List . For a similar list of European suppliers, see Aren van Waarde's post below (5th post in this thread).

Dear all,
Ernst Erb asked me to prepare a short list of hyperlinks leading to suppliers for antique radio (and amplifier) rebuilding/restoration in Europe, based on information presented on my own website. NB some companies are aimed at high-end tube amplifier building rather than radio restoration, although they may supply parts which are of interest for radio enthusiasts. Additions to the list are welcome!
NB By August 15, 2017 seven links proved to be broken. The companies seem to have gone out of business, thus their links have been deleted. I have added several links about suppliers of turntable needles and other turntable-related items (cartridges, arms, record cleaning devices, etc).

Pacific TV was mentioned as a source for tubes, but I would like to point out that they are also a good source for some obscure schematics (especially some Canadian products), and have been continually adding more to their library: Edit: I tried to post the link to their schematic page, but when I try to submit the post, it keeps giving me an error message telling me that my post contains a link. Anyway, it's easy to find the schematics from Pacific T.V.'s main page. (Please use the link icon This article was edited 12.Mar.17 09:21 by Martin Renz . 143980 from 208974

Having just joined this site, I must say how impressed I am with the amount of supplier information available to members. I have been making notes in a book everytime I encounter a good supplier for parts. I no longer need that book! It's all here! In these trying times, I'm glad to find a resource like this to explore. I hope to also make contributions with regard to Canadian models and live 1 Km away from the still standing RCA Victor factory in Montreal. I would like to include a link to my local "Tube Guy" in Montreal: Tubebazaar.com Thanks again, Gary Kuster, Montreal
