Lots of parts, supplies, DMMs, project boxes, irons, tips, wire, headers, plugs, solar panels, etc…
Helpful and knowledgeable staff

They buy surplus stuff from companies, so it's a touch hit-or-miss when looking for specific parts that are there or that work
Inventory varies, but they typically carry supplies, scopes, irons, file cabinets, desks, chairs… you name it, they probably have one

-
A dozen long aisles of surplus components. Huge selection of passives, IC's, lots of connectors, tiny screws and other hardware.

Mostly computer parts, but some electronics, soldering irons, etc. No components (resistors, capacitors, etc.)
-
Good selection of soldering and test equipment, chemicals, wire, heatshrink, and components. Most/all active components are NTE parts. Decent selection of surface mount passives.
-
Not set up for web or online inventory, this is a store you have to walk around. Electronic tools, kits, hardware, adapters, jacks, sockets, semiconductors, cheap speakers + wire, motors, steppers, odd and neat surplus parts for robots, radio, or audio.
Good place to look for old transistors and opamps, occasional NOS Ge diodes. Anyone into building or fixing gear with obsolete parts should make a visit.
-
Similar in spirit to Tanner's (the owners are friends), just geared towards the web. While it can be found on a Google map search, they are not set up with a normal storefront and will be far easier to deal with online. Not recommended as a shopping destination, but if you want to pick up your order in person they are very nice about it (pls call ahead). They are a busy surplus business using every square foot for inventory, so it can be alarming if you show up expecting a nice fancy lobby.
-
Surplus would be mostly in the small amount of electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, potentiometers, dip sockets in various bulk boxes at nice prices
rest of inventory is geared toward maintenance tech supplies, crimpers, punchdown tools, server rack hardware, with a soldering tools section rivaling Fry's.
RaElco Electronics
2780 S Main St, South Salt Lake, UT 84115 (801) 487-7749
Specializes in rare and hard to find items. Good selection of Resistors, Capacitors, Diodes and other discrete solid state components.
If you need it, Ra Elco probably has it, but only if you can find it. Garage sale or flea market in appearance, Ra Elco has a vast selection of new and used surplus at great prices.
Knowledgeable sales staff can answer questions and locate hard to find parts.

Not surplus, but a wide array of useful bits for makers. Enclosures, soldering irons, components, etc.
-
WSU surplus is open to the public on Friday from 10:00AM to 3:00PM. An assortment of items that college no longer has a use for. Lots of computer parts and cables. Obscure and interesting equipment from the school of agriculture or the science department can be found at the WSU surplus store. Lots of non-electronic things available too, such as old furniture or even shoes from the athletic department.
