Amen. Bring back Radio Shack!
I worked at Radio Shack while attending grad school. Over my years at work, Radio Shack was the "go to" place to pick up supplies for field repairs. I'm blessed to still have a Radio Shack open in Pocatello. It's a franchise with a subset of the Radio Shack product line. Good for quick tasks. More comprehensive, specialized things can be ordered online.
Oh, Lord! There were and always will be better places to get electronics parts. Radio Shack sold “floor sweepings” at 4X the price you would pay for premium parts elsewhere.
