NORVAC is strictly an electronics supply house. They sell a lot of
stuff, from components,
materials, test equipment, computer supplies, software, books...you name
it. But, nothing
particularly vintage. It's an old place...been around for quite a long
time, and it
definitely has some charm, but probably not a place that a vintage RF &
test equipment
enthusiast might want to hang up for long. But...it's a fun place to
browse...especially
if you've got a thick pocketbook.
All my opinion, of course. I've used them for buying bits and pieces
for years, and
they've always been good to me, albeit a bit expensive compared to the
mail order places.
