I know there is a Newark in Troy, but I do not believe they have a storefront.

Know of any by chance ?

It's kind of a silly way to go about it, but the first real luck I had in finding a retailer in my area was through the Hammond catalog. I requested one awhile back, and enclosed with the catalog are a list of suppliers. They listed a couple in Atlanta besides the requisite Allied and Newark, which, as you found out - have no storefronts anymore. Turns out, that retailer is perhaps the only one left in Atlanta - they even sell Millett tubes and sockets (but at a price).

Unfortunately, the Hammond catalog lists only the Newark in Troy that you mention, and Allied in Grand Rapids and Livonia.

The second part of your post heading says "tools." There will surely be plenty of those in Michigan.

Yes, but none that sell Hakko irons. I wish we had a Fry's hehe.

Sorry for the OT post, but where exactly in Atlanta is that?

RS electronics in Novi still has a storefront, but it's kind of overpriced and depressing. They do stock Weller supplies, though.
