So today I was stumbling around Akiba trying to find the panel mount xlr jacks that mounted from behind. Never did find those, but did manage to come across these spiffy shops:

Tubes of all sorts:

Caps of all sorts, and more:

Holy cow that is so cool!

That's incredible.

That's stunning to see caps sold like candies. I would've never imagined a pedestrian market exist that's large enough to bother displaying like that.

Holy Mother of ...!!!!!!

 

[Nebby]

there's rows upon rows of shops like that, a few were dedicated to tools, there was one shop completely dedicated to fluke meters.....I was in DIY heaven

 

[Seaside]

Because you live in japan. Damn... I want to go there to see that and other... stuffs.

Any more pictures?

 

[Nebby]

I took a few more, but not much mostly because shortly after I got there I realized my train to the airport was leaving in 15min

I'll post more pics when I get the chance, for now I must recover for massive jet lag.

 

[Yikes]

I can only imagine what it's like now. I haven't been there in 25 years. A 1/4 of a century ago it was a toy junkies paradise.

There is a local electronic parts warehouse that has a room specifically called the "Tube Room".

I'm sure you can guess what's in it.

Edit: Oh, I thought you lived near all that. Nevermind then...
