Recalling years gone by. Worked at ESL in Sunnyvale (495 Java Dr.) in the middle 70's, and visited Anchor Electronics quite often to buy parts for a project I was working on. I vaguely recall a lady owner/manager being there with a dog (?). Excellent source for electronics and mechanical parts (wire-wrap sockets, etc). I'm retired now and live in Baguio City, Philippines .... still do personal electronic projects .... can't give it up, AND I STILL HAVE ITEMS I PURCHASED FROM ANCHOR. Larry Smith
absolutely perfect. I am a technician. I am under time pressure. They had something very unusual. They are very nice people. I have to get back to the repair, but I really didn't wanna leave. What a great store. A real treasure for someone who uses electronics in their work.
This is a great store. We went there looking for a clamp-type ammeter, but unfortunately they didn't have one. However, when we asked the person who seemed to be the owner, he was very kind and asked around with many people, and told us about the GRAINGER store, and we finally got what we were looking for. We were very happy that they treated us, Japanese business travelers, so kindly, even though we asked in broken English. Next time we have a problem with electronic parts, we will definitely come here. Thank you very much.
I was on a short visit to Cupertino and managed to visit Anchor Electronics at the last minute :-) I stepped in around 3:40PM (20 minutes before the shop close time) but the friendly and extremely helpful staff managed to find the big list of components I was looking. Amazing collection of components and not just a shop, more like a museum :-) they have small grab-bag like offers too (good deals indeed) Prices are very reasonable and the component quality is exceptional. Make sure to study the inventory first (you can find it in the website) then come up with a list of components you want! that will help everyone! Also make sure to go there early so you can take time and explore the collections! So glad to see Alicia! and please convey my best regards to the gentleman who helped me with finding all of my transistors and ICs
