   At the risk of sounding like a broken record, MC Howard in Austin, 
Texas has been my source for everything from 74-series chips to 64-pin 
wirewrap sockets to RAM for my HP-9000.  I basically populated my 
SBC6120 off their shelves, and the homebrew 6809 project I'm working on 
was provisioned there too.

   The prices on their website are insane, but I've never heard of them 
actually charging what's listed.  Call the toll-free number or email 
them and get a quote.  They ship internationally.

etc.  I know a couple of other listfolk have dealt with them too.
