RS Components: newzealand.rs-online.com That's where I get mine from, and they stock much better quality brands than anywhere else, and pretty cheap too! |

| 828494 | 2010-01-15 07:34:00 | In another life-time I used to be the sales rep for RS Components in Ndola, Zambia as part of my job at C.M.B Engineering. I traveled around the Copperbelt selling engineering parts to mining engineers. My favourite part was Toshiba High Voltage Vacuum Contactors which were worth $3300 each, nice commission. I also used to represent Crabtree, Stone Stamcor, Wolf Portable tools and many others which I can't remember the names of anymore but they were well known. |
