Howdy,

Yeah, Radio shack. When Comodore went out of business,
Radio shack bought ALL the 9V 1A power supplies and
blew them out for $4.95 each. Every time I went in the
store, I cleaned them out. Thrift stores are great.
Everey now and then a larger amp supply will pop up.
Frequent visits to multiple stores is the key. Where I
live, there are 2 that are almost always dependable
for fresh supplies and toys for bending. The other 4,
not so good, although 1 seems to attract most of the
"sound books". I go there for them. Good bending
stuff. Also , you might try Jameco, and MPJA. They
have good prices on their supplies.
