Where to buy uncommon electronics components?

Post new topic

I found a chain called Deeco, which almost certainly has the part, but nowadays with 4 layers of plastic in-between, customer service is even worse than last time I was in Manila.

(She glanced at the immense small parts cabinet to the side where it probably is, decided it wasn't worth the trouble to even pretend to check - easier just to give the usual "we don't have" - as if she knows exactly what's in those rows upon rows of small parts drawers... )

A good RC (Remote Control ) toys shop might have also.

I know there is some big electronics market in Quiapo, but in a neighborhood that didn't seem safe to visit and wander about the day I tried, not knowing exactly which building it's in.

If not, where is a good place to buy some soldering supplies to make it myself from the new and broken parts I have?

Looking for a tiny cable, technically called JST or Molex 1.25mm pitch PicoBlade 3-pin male-female extension.

Thanks, I tried Aliexpress, but couldn't get my credit card to work.
Trying other sites.
