I saw the neon sign lit up as open. I thought it was strange since I<br>
heard they were closed too. Going a little closer to Cambridge there's<br>
also Cambridge Surplus.<br>

> Sayal Electronics, across the street from the Toyota plant: 1040 Fountain St N, Cambridge, ON N3E 1A3. Their prices are higher (stupidly so on some items), but they’re local and have a LOT, including mechanical bits, tools, 3D printing stuff, educational kits/toys and of course, components.<br>

> There is (was?) also Environmental Quescence, run by David Schlievert. He used to operate out of is house on River Rd., but he’s moved, I think to Guelph. His website is a bit of a mess, but email him, he’s got so much stuff, he’s exactly like how KW Surplus used to be in its heyday: <a href="https://eq-trm.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://eq-trm.com</a>. LOTS of mechanical, pneumatic stuff too, generally for automation. You won’t find Arduino-esque stuff there, but damn near anything else you might want.<br>
