I've got two: Micro-Mark The Small Tool Specialists. They sell unusual tools and supplies primarily for model makers. Lots of cool stuff that would be difficult to find anywhere else. American Science and Surplus. Magnets, lab glass, and almost anything else. I've wasted a lotta money over the years with these guys.

I'll play. This is a great site for unusual and hard to find tools and equipment. https://www.zoro.com/?gclid=Cj...ALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

Sadly, my favorite, Lindsay Publications, recently closed their doors. They specialized in reprints of many old mechanical manuals and such. And their catalogs were a hoot. I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm. | |||

I've ordered quite a few things from the first one you listed, Micro-Mark. Another great one along the same lines if you like to tinker with wood. https://cherrytreetoys.com/ | |||

Here's another one: Townsends. These folks are dedicated to exploring life in 18th Century America. They've got lots of fascinating videos on YouTube. When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth. - George Bernard Shaw | |||

What a great thread! I look forward eagerly to more posts. Too bad about Garrett Wade, Whole Earth Access, many other sources for tools that went away or lost their luster. For that matter, how about Allied, Lafayette, and other long-gone mail-order electronics catalogs? _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||

Damn you guys!  My wallet is taking numerous hits after seeing this thread! And what's even worse? Harry J. Epstein is about 30 minutes away from me.

Cliff - Stay away from American Science and Surplus. They've got lots of shit that you don't need but will have to buy just because it's so cool. When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth. - George Bernard Shaw | |||

Then I see that steampunk style swing loupe in optics. Cool as shit.
