Bentronics

Owner was wonderful to chat with about radio parts and electric components.

Stopped in last week to get some builder's electronic parts. Bill and the crew were super friendly and knowledgeable on the products they sell. Grateful to have a well stocked store local to us that specializes in the parts to build/repair/modify electrical devices. Refreshing to have access to the small parts to keep things running despite all the big chain stores only being stocked with disposable garbage.

Went into Bentronics today for the 1st time, had a technical issue we couldn’t seem to figure out. Thought we needed to buy connectors, we didn’t it turns out. Thank you so much Bentronics for helping some not so computer savvy ladies! You guys rock! Sorry I didn’t get the gentleman’s name but I highly recommend this place! So helpful and friendly!! 👏🏻👏🏻

Bill is very knowledgeable and carries most electronics others don't have.

I have an old Samsung plasma tv that had a blown out capacitor. I was going to order the part online. It would take about 2 weeks to arrive, but I didn't want to wait that long. So I've decided to checkout Bentronics to see if they had the part, which I called in advance and they did!
Bill prefered a newer and stronger part for me that was better than my previous one. I took the part home and installed it. Works like a charm! Only cost me $2.49! Great customer service and very knowledgeable! Great place to go for electronic parts!

Bill at Bentronics is very helpful and knowledgeable. They have a wide selection of electronic stuff from individual components to amateur radio gear to sound system cables and components. Will definitely shop there again.

Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. They can point you to exactly the item your looking for. This is where I go to get any electronic part I need. They carry most everything and if they don't have it, most likely it can be ordered for you from their supplier in just a couple days.

Once again, Bentronics has come through for me. This time, I was looking for a simple magnetic alarm reed switch, to be used as a garage door open sensor. All the big hardware stores had were entire, complicated, expensive alarm systems. None of the major stores I visited had the small electrical part I needed, but Bentronics did.
Previously, I had received a small mini computer from a Chinese company that had arrived with a power supply with an incorrect size connector on it. A quick visit to Bentronics, and I was able to pick up the small adapter needed to make the power supply usable with the device I had received - the very same day.
The major hardware stores don't carry the small magnetic switch I was looking for. The only big electronics store in town, doesn't carry the special little power connection adapter I needed. Now that Radio Shack is gone, Bentronics seems to be the only place in Redding left as a supplier of all the tiny electrical things.

I think the owner's market is mainly local IT people, but if you're an idjit consumer who needs an oddball adapter cable or the like, don't bother making the rounds at the usual big-box suspects. Bentronics has the part you need and some good technical advice thrown in for free.

Walked in, was greeted with a smile and was helped with what I needed, and answered all my questions. Also gave me pointers on ham radio licensing and offered me lots of resources and information 10/10 will be returning here, and recommend all my friends to come here. Thank you

Fairly new to the area, and I'm happy to find a great electronics place like this one. Bill is super helpful and friendly.

For people with electronic components needs, this business is like an oasis in the barren desert . In the past 2 years Redding had 5 electronics parts retail sources and now the best of them is all that remains. The owner/operator, Bill Johnson, is personable, honest and responsive even to the smallest request, which I find extremely rare in today's retail environment.

In the 1960s and 1970s, shops like Bentronics could be found in most modest sized communities. Then one by one, they all disappeared. Fortunately for Redding, Bentronics continues stock parts that you can't buy anywhere else in the North State. Bentronics is one of the only legitimate electronic parts stores North of Sacramento

The guy who owns the store now, Paul I think his name was? Sorry if thats wrong(It's Bill... sorry, I'm bad with names), is a very knowledgable, and all around cool guy. This guy deserves 5 stars for sure.

The BEST shop for small/micro electronics in the city. Since the Radio Shacks closed, it's nice that someone is providing this stuff for the area. Owner is very friendly and helpful.

Very helpful. Actually looking to sell vintage parts and equipment. Staff able to give us lots of good advice. Thank you.

If you miss Radio Shack, you'll love Bentronics. Lots of miscellaneous electrical diodes, transistors, capacitors, and other things electrical. I wish I had known about this place a few years ago.

Tons of stuff you just can't find at an actual store anymore. Bill is really doing Northern California a service. Will be going back to help support a place like this.

Always a good chat with the owner!

The owner is super helpful, and, he asks enough questions about the product for which you are looking, that you can be assured of the correct items!
