    Howdy Dudies,

    I'm constantly hunting for little things in Palma and not getting the best results from Google.

    Does anyone know where I can find:

    -computer fans (the little fellas)
    -resistors, capacitors, coils, project boxes, leds... etc.
    -batteries! I need some wierd ones. (In Vancouver we have batteryworld and they have everything)
    -electronics repair shops (Maritime Systems is great but I need a second one)

    We'll be here for the winter and fall... eventually I'll find these places. I'm just looking for easystreet. We have companies that can find it for me but my captain gives me crap when I use them.

    Thanks!

    It has been my experience that it is a lot cheaper for a yacht chandler company that can quickly locate your items opposed to my paid time being spent chasing parts when that same time could be utilized doing beneficial things on board the vessel.
    I have noticed that a good yacht chandler can sell you your requested items, deliver them to you for free and you can still save $$ as they can buy at whole sale and they still make profit for there time spent. Seems win win to me.

    Palma Electronics Places

    Thanks C4.

    I found a couple wicked awesome places!

    Mallorca Electric - They have everything from buttons, transformers, fans, meters, hobby kits, resistors, LEDs... I almost wanted to cry when I walked through the doors.

    Electrica Rambla - I haven't been to this place yet but I'm getting good vibes. It's just a few streets north of "The Diner."

    Happy shopping! I got everything I needed.... and ever will need.
