Does anyone know of someone in Canada I could buy connectors from?

I'm interested in buying them in bulk, and I don't want to pay large shipping fees, brokerage, and wait a long time.

Thanks for taking the time to post.

Ask DP member "Omnedon". I believe he is located in Canada, and he *MAY* be willing to sell some if he has a surplus, or direct you to a source.

Global Electronic Supplies lists the connector, on their home page enter "nintendo" in the Description search box and it should come up. They are in Mississauga, Ontario.

Omnedon would be a great source to get them from. I remember when his supplier started shipping connecters that weren't testing well. Apparently, a small minority of games were incompatible--so small that nobody had even noticed. Omnedon brought it up in the forums, and told everyone how disappointed he was. 'Wouldn't even consider selling them to people. So, I basically consider Omnedon an all-around good guy.

It was my understanding that omnedon doesn't carry them anymore. I'm not sure though.
At one point, he was a (or 'the') Canadian distributor for them.

Yeah, I've gotten away feom parts reselling completely. Lots of effort, for little return, and major headache potential. OSG is all about service.
