Digi Key is not RONCO.

Don't bet on it.

What a silly remark. Digi-Key is a major component supplier that's been
around about 20 years. They sell no consumer products.

They'll sell whatever manufacturers have to sell, at 2-10x the
going price. Sounds a lot like Ronco to me, though their online
catalog is better.

Try 30 years. I have a 1978 Digikey catalog - about 50 pages.


They are older than that. they started with a kit of parts for a
electronic keyer for morse code, hence their name of Digi-key. It was
based on an article in a US amateur radio magazine, and they placed a
tiny ad for the kits.
