Local specialty electronic parts store??

I'm looking for a place that is what radio shack used to be. A place that sells electronic parts. Radio shack has gone towards products like cell phones and whatnot. It's been dumbed down.

Anybody know of a place local?

Today I'm looking for the parts to make a cable with 4 pole 3.5mm plug on one end and both a 3.5mm stereo (3 pole) plug and a 2.5mm mono (2 pole) plug on the other end.

I'm connecting my motorcycle's intercom (Autocom Super Pro AVi) to my gps with bluetooth cell connection (Garmin 2820).

Radio shack might be able to help with this but I keep needing to get stuff (for the longest time radio shack didn't carry blue LEDs)

HSC is ok, but its mostly surplus supplies. Marvac was nice since it was all new parts
