Try HSC Electronic Supply, a back steet surplus shop in Santa Clara www.halted.com. It has bins full of OEM components, old tubes, salvaged instruments, used heatsinks. Bring a DMM as some customers tend to drop things back in the wrong bin sometimes. Some new stuff, some junk. You never know for sure what you will find. I always check it before placing an order with Digikey. Although the prices are not spectacularly low, you can buy just one of something. Kind of a wierd experience to go to the counter with your hands full of "stuff" and run up a bill of less than a dollar.

Oh, actually, I forgot something. There's an electronics swap meet which is held the second Saturday of each month from April to October. Location is Foothill College near Los Altos. They start around 6 A.M. and pretty much everyone is leaving by around 10:30 to 11:30. You'll also need $2 in quarters or dollar bills for the parking ticket machine there.
