Green Brook Electronics

Glutinous Pig checking in…
Yeah, this is not for foodies, the review is for electro-​geeks.
Transplanted back to NJ after 25 years in Ohio I lamented the loss of Electronics Surplus being available at my whim (check out Mentor Ohio), but lo to my surprise, driving up the perilous rt 22 one morning, my eyes chanced upon the sign for Greenbrook Electronics.
Being an effects designer and overall geek, my heart skipped a beat as i pondered if this would be some lame ass, going out of business business, or if it had a remote chance of replacing my beloved ESI.
When I finally got to the point of running out of critical components for a time sensitive build, I made the trip over to GE, and on walking in the door, my spirit soared and my dork heart sang.
For the geek, who builds with electronics or likes to repair that which should not occupy landfill space, this place is NJs mecca.
It was ratshack was in the 70s, a joint full of pieces parts rarely found elsewhere, with an assortment that makes you brim with geeky joy.
I was surprised at how extensive the selection was, and much to my anal categorizing, sort it sensibly nature, surprise, there was rhyme to the reason of how the items were placed in the store.
I happily wandered the aisles for a few hours picking through the selection like a kid in the candy shop.
So, geek in the tri-​state area, this shop will save your soul in a pinch when mail order can in no way be fast enough.

I had to sign up to Unilocal just to disagree with the last review. This store has helped many people out in a crunch. RS does not have half the things this store has. I don’t mind paying twice as much for a resistor or rectifier (its usually only 50 cents anyway) to have it in my hand. The help know what they are selling, but you have to ask some questions to get them to talk. I hope Greenbrook is around for many more years.
