Electronic Hobbies

Times Square still hums with gadgets. Electronic Hobbies keeps the voltage steady at 1557 Broadway, right where neon meets pavement. This isn’t a chain; it’s the kind of store that stocks soldering irons next to retro gaming cartridges, a throwback to when electronics were something you built, not just bought. The neighborhood thrives on spectacle, but here you’ll find the quiet hum of resistors and capacitors—tools for people who remember that circuits have personalities.

Need a microcontroller, a spool of wire, or a vintage radio kit? The shelves don’t shout; they just hold what you didn’t know you needed. Call (866) 398-5963 before swinging by—some parts live in drawers, not on display. For directions, the map’s already waiting: here. Bring cash; the card reader’s as old as some of the gear.
