Electronics shops in the Hudson Valley...

[SolderBoy]

I'm in upstate NY for a month or so.  Wondering if anyone can recomend an electronics parts shop in the area?

Upstate NY, above Albany or below Albany?   Just curious,  I am just below Albany, I am sure Albany must have some electronics stores besides RatShack.  I personally get most of my stuff that I need through the company I work for.   I could possibly mail you a few things that you may need.

Peace!

"If you want to get EE components for a personal project, or if you need something not carried in Phillips 301, you'll probably need to go to a local store. Rad-Tronics at 1005 N. Cayuga St. (273-8026) is a good bet. While the shop is little more than a garage and business hours are limited, the stock is phenomenal and the owner, Tito, is a character to match. For true-blooded electronics hackers, a visit there is not to be missed. "
That's from Cornell U, so I guess they are talking about Ithaca, which IIRC is upstate NY. You might need a snowplough, though.
Edited to say, Rad-Tronics is a Jameco agent. That can't be bad!

Thanks for the responses guys.  I'm sort of near Kingston and Woodstock (ie: south of Albany), so Ithaca is a bit far - well over 100mi on the google map.  Back home I was spoilt, with DSE, Jaycar, and delsound all 5 mins away, and RS about 15 mins away! 

Anyone else?...
