Is there a good electronics supply store in Philadelphia?

I'm looking for an electronics/hobby supply store in the Philadelphia area -- preferably (but not necessarily) one accessible via the Broad Street or Market Street rail lines, or the trollies or Regional Rail. I'd consider driving 20-30 miles if needed, but an in-city source would be much more convenient.

Specifically, I'd like to find a local source for actual electronics parts (stepper motors, integrated circuits, breadboards, LEDs, capacitors, chokes/transformers, etc). Radio Shack, I'm afraid, just doesn't cut it these days.

Thanks in advance.

It's not like the old days, is it? Sigh. I used to hang out in Lafayette Radio in NYC in the 1960's. They are long gone now.

But one place you can still go in Philly to break out of the Radio Shack prison is AC Radio Supply, an old-time outfit on Passyunk Ave. a couple of blocks west of Broad Street. Check them out:

Hope this helps!!
