"What a lovely shop!"

A review of Maplin Electronics by Mike - Tuesday 4th of March 2008

Advertisements

Once, when the dinosaurs roamed Maplins supplied bits an pieces for people who wanted to spent their time pottering about with a soldering iron.
But these folk have all but died off, modern electronics is much more efficiently done in a factory, and to keep going Maplins have had to go into toys, tools, and other tosh.
Good luck to them, say I. It a shame though, they no longer stock items that there's only a tiny demand for, but what can you expect? What do you mean you want a replacement 807 or 6L6?

As to the staff, I've found the Norwich branch invariably friendly and helpful.
