It's funny to think that there's a market for bins of miscellaneous spare parts. But if someone was selling it i'd buy it.
I've been doing some digging recently into good sources for metal greeblies and thought I would share some findings and see if anyone else has gone down this rabbit hole who would like to share. My use case was finding parts for a lightsaber interior but there's tons of other uses as well. So if you've got a great source for greeblies and weird parts, post it here!
I started the search looking at brass fittings and components for small electronics. A quick google image search for 'Brass electronics' reveals a small universe of great looking parts which I have no familiarity with but suddenly need in my shop. I have yet to find a good source for buying assortments of these sorts of things but if anyone knows of any please share!
My next stop was aluminum upgrades for model cars. This is a wonderful rabbit hole to go down. I
Here's some great sites I was exploring:
http://www.tedsmodelingmarketplace.com/
http://www.vcgresins.com/main.html
https://www.megahobby.com/categories/aftermarket-parts/model-car-detail-parts.html
I'll add more as i find them. Where do you guys get your miscellaneous odds and ends??
