Well, all my local radioshacks are sold out of their .187 quick disconnects. I was able to snag around 20 of them, but they came with both male and female disconnects and I only needed female disconnects.
So, where is a good place to order about 50 or so .187 female quick disconnects for hooking up all my joysticks and buttons?
Free shipping would definitely be a plus.

Check my .sig but I'll be out for another week.

Pearls are good. Got some from him
I got some from ace hardware for about a buck more (including shipping) but had them the first day... but I haven't seen them at an ace hardware since... (but I moved)
Also www.therealbobroberts.com has them for a good price.
but go with Pearl for sure! Easy to deal with and great item.
Also consider getting 50 reds and 50 blue. The blues are nice when you have more then one wire going into the end... (ground)... and gives another way to see the difference quickly.

Regretably I only sell in lots of 100 each type (they come pre-bagged) but having extras is good - if you do more projects, if you screw up, etc etc.

I don't know how big your town is, but start calling the professional electrical supply shops in your area. Sooner or later you'll find one who sells to the public. For anybody in Salt Lake, S&H Terminals sells to the public and will sell in whatever quantity you need. I needed a few .110 and they broke open a bag for me.

Well, if you get them next friday and ship them right away I don't think that would be a problem...
Are you pretty sure you will be getting them in by then? How much is shipping? (and how long)

Shipping is included in the $6.00/100 price. They usually take 4-5 days to get to wherever, depending on location.

I haven't seen ONE .187 quick disconnect at any of the 4 home depots I went to. They had plenty of .250, no .187 tho :-/
RadioShack is a decent place. They usuall have these drawers of connectors/led's etc, and I've cleaned them out before, but it's WAY more pricey.. But hey, if you're in a bind, you can almost always get them there.

If you have an Ace Hardware nearby, I've found .187's there.

Are these .187 sized quick disconnects labeled as something else?
I've checked Home Depot and Lowe's (last week) but they didn't have the slightest clue when I said ".187 size". The packages only listed wire gauge size and thats it...

Don't forget to try "surplus" goods stores.

I got mine no problem at home depot. Pearls price kick the crap out of home depot though, I think I paid like $12 for 100.
