You-Do-It Electronics is dead, long live You-Do-It Electronics
You-Do-It Electronics went out of business. It was a very nice resource. Does anyone know of a similar electronics store that is within a 1 hour drive of Woosta? -David

That is sad. I don't know of another store that is as big as You-Do-It, but there is Electronics Plus in Littleton: http://www.electronicsplus.com/ They are more like a radioshack in terms of size and inventory. -Jeff
I’ll second electronics plus as well, but not sure how much long Fran will keep it running… Sent from my iPhone

This is terrible news! Have they closed already? I was planning to go there on Tuesday (July 2) when I have a medical appt. in Newton. They were probably destroyed by the Web, BUT their location was not ideal. The traffic in that area was horrible. On 2024-06-28 4:53 pm, Jeff Moyer via WLUG wrote:

Was last in you-do-it May 17 when travels took me nearby. Store was about 80 percent empty then. Sign of the times. Going forward we all plan weeks ahead with free shipping things from China. Joel On June 29, 2024 10:30:27 AM David Glaser via WLUG <wlug@lists.wlug.org> wrote:

They're gone already, it was pretty quick, I missed being able to make a trip too.

Sadly I only went to You Do it once and it was really amazing. It was before the pandemic in their full glory. My co-worker is a big ham guy and he needed some stuff to repair a couple radios as well as some connectors for his various antennas. He was in there all the time and immediately was greeted by a sales guy who dove right into a deep conversation about dipole yaggi's, etc. I wandered the aisles, just amazed. They had a pretty decent 3d printing corner as well. Sadly, I think the market for building your own electronics is continuously shrinking. Tim.
