Doz' list of great suppliers.

I'll try and keep this list up to date. If you spot a broken link, leave me a comment, and I'll get it corrected or remove it. eBay sellers do tend to come and go a bit... 

RS - The obvious choice, next day delivery and guaranteed genuine parts. I get free shipping.
RS is no longer on the list - they seem to have poor stock these days, and next day free delivery is a thing of the past. The range of stocked components seems poor too. A sad end. 
Farnell - Similar to above, slightly better stock sometimes. Similar pricing. Postage extra.
CPC - a part of Farnell, with differing pricing and delivery. Sometimes stock figures on website somewhat apocryphal.
Rapid electronics - Sometimes good pricing on transformers. Sometimes.... Now the UK part of Conrad Electronics.
Conrad Electronics - EU only supplier since Brexit. See Rapid above for get out clause.
TME.EU - a once fabulous, mostly next-day supplier at sensible prices, with excellent stock and quality parts. Then some idiots thought Brexit was a good idea. They won't supply small orders to the UK now. Hugely missed. NOW DEALING WITH THE UK AGAIN. HURRAH!
Hot Rox UK Guitar-centric supplier of valves. THE best supplier of valves in the UK bar none. Shop with confidence.
The Pi Hut For all things raspberry flavoured.
Retroleum Superb supplier of retro computers parts - great guy, buy with complete confidence.
The Wood Veneer Hub - Rookie tolerant suppliers of wood veneers. Huge help to me when I first started doing this. Highly recommended. 

eBay suppliers - CAVEAT - buying components on eBay is a nightmare. A last resort, but I've had good results from these sellers. YMMV.

cece-mods - vintage commodore parts.
Retrocomputershack - nicely made leads, and other vintage computer parts.
TC Electronic components - general electronic parts.
Oak Store Direct - Wooden stuff - family run firm, most helpful.
DM Components 2011 - general electronic parts.
M0MAT Radio - RF parts.
G0OYQ-Steve - More RF parts.
All Metal Parts - Metal parts - family run, great help.
Smiffy's parts - Best quality mini fittings.
See More Items - actually the eBay shop of a small electronics emporium in my home town. Superb service, and good coffee! Buy with 100% confidence.
Normal Services - Vintage parts - similar to the above.
Kenable - cheap and cheerful cables, despite their huge size, have great customer service.
Nikko Electronics Ltd - eBay supplier of good vintage and obsolete parts. Seem very genuine.
