So refreshing just to have an honest exchange about what to expect. It was like brand new when I left. I will go back to him with anything radio-related that needs fixing. Doing his part to keep the landfills free of old radios. He's great! PS No cards, and I was two dollars short in cash. He said, "We're good," but I took in the two dollars the next day because I want to keep going back!

I just had an extremely frustrating experience trying to get my computer fixed here. After assuring…read moreme it was fixed, I took it home only to find that it still had the issue. Then they promised me that another fix would work, so I brought it in a second time, only to be told that they had to order the part, which would be there Saturday. I planned on coming in Saturday, but the part didn't come until Tuesday. They assured me I could come in on Friday at noon and it would be fixed in 1-2 hours. I got a call at 5:15 pm telling me it was all finished, too late for me Friday. So, I came in today, Saturday (my 6th trip to the shop) feeling assured that I had finally reached the finish line. Only to find that, in spite of the Friday evening call telling me it was all ready, that they had not fixed it at all! Very inconsiderate lack of communication. The only redeeming part of the experience is that they gave me a full refund. But, here I am at square one again with a broken computer, after 3 weeks and 6 separate trips to the shop.

United Radio Supply. That sounds important. This electronics distributor, now going by URS, is a…read morewalk-in supplier of tools, cable and a selection of electronics parts. Klein Tools, many made in the USA. They have items like a flameless heat gun, which could go well with their contactless infrared thermometers. They stock plenty of datacom cables and parts, routers and hubs, HDMI and other video cables. They also have heat shrink tubing. Don't forget the awesome Elenco Snap Circuits for kids! URS stocks some Spark Fun Arduino and Lilypad Arduino items! They also have LED strips. Those are all pretty useful things you will not find in retail stores in Portland! The universe of electronics parts is huge now, and it is difficult for local suppliers to stock. So their actual parts selection is small. They have blister packed 74xx and the like, and a few bulk resistors, capacitors and LED's. But they are a good place to check if you can't wait on remote suppliers for something you need now!

We stopped in to check out their 55+ program and Avery was well informed and very respectful of our needs and concerns. She explained every detail and all of our questions were responded to in a positive manner. We had been AT&T customers for decades, but in recent times have been less than pleased with their customer service and pricing policies. We immediately saved around $250 a year by switching to the 55+ program currently being offered by T-Mobile. We took advantage of having our car set up for broadband access with t-Mobile's sync hardware. The store manager, Akash immediately set up the hardware and associated software in our car and on my iPhone. He was extremely positive and super knowledgeable, plus an all-around good chap! In addition to basic roadside assistance, one of the benefits of the sync hardware is that you immediately receive recall and service notifications about your car. One of the service notifications we received when the system went active dealt with a particular issue that we had been having with our car and had been unable to pinpoint the exact problem. Because of this feature we now have a solution! Overall, a very positive experience with the crew at this t-Mobile location. We were also fortunate to have the Portland area marketing manager present at the store when we signed up for T-Mobile service. His name is Drake and he was totally awesome!! Had a very keen and vigorous sense of humor and made our entire experience pleasurable and unique.

Fortunately, I decided to venture down a search into the more local small businesses and came upon this cool old school & quirky shop. I think the gentleman's name was Jim. Older dude that could pass as your nerdy techy friend who's probably collected every tech gadget since the original Tron came out. Told him what I was looking for but I gradually got discouraged as all he was showing me were the bigger style bigger sound units that are common for home systems. But, alas! With a little patience we revealed a new treasure: smaller desk top speakers! Minor speaker mesh stains on the front but super decent with a little TLC. He was super friendly and chill, even making an effort to find parts that could potentially be missing from this set (like compatible power cord). It also came with an amp box that I've got sitting below my desk table, which was a nice surprise (I keep it plugged in for the deeper sounds or just unplugged for more "regular(?)" crispy audio). All that for a really awesome deal; I think it was something like $15-30 or something crazy like that. Good shit, dude! Thank you. If you're looking for small speakers, I probably snagged the last set but I definitely recommend this place for any help with acheiving 2 things at once: reusing/upcycling any sort of old working electronics and supporting a damn good local friendly small business.
