Wouldn't fuss with Dick Smith - really not worth pursuing.
Surplustronics and Jaycar really are the best options.<br>

<div>Hi all<br>
I've added a computer shop (with branch on campus and
in queen st) and 2 electronic shops to the shops +
supplies page with google+ pages for them so you can
find where they are<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"

<br>
</div>
Unless someone beats me to it, I'll eventually add the
links to the Dick Smith electronic shops, 3 stores are
within walking distance of the venue.<br>
<br>

Dick Smith at 21 Queen st, 26 Wyndham St and 442

Unfortunately the point for their K'Rd (what locals call
Karangahape Rd) store on their map is wrong.<br>

<div>We were a little bit concerned about
flying with large amounts of liquid
flux, so the OpenRadio kits aren't
supplied with any.<br>
<br>
The solder is resin-cored though, so you
can clean up a joint by heating it up
and adding a tiny bit of solder. Also,
myself and others will be on-hand with
rework kit to clean up boards if
required.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

resin cored solder and

external fluxes.<br>
