Is there anywhere in Orlando that you can buy electronic compnents other
than Skycraft? They usually have something that will work, but sometimes
they don't and I have to wait for stuff to ship and pay $5-$7 for shipping.
Is there some place like mouser or digi-key in the Orlando area?

Go to switchboard.com
search for "electronic parts" in "orlando fl"

Mike & Glen-

I think there is also a Newark Electronics office in the Orlando area.
You might call them and see what they have.

There is (or was) also a place called All Electronics in Winter
Springs. The owner ran a repair shop in the same building.
I went in there a few years ago, and they refused to sell me
a part because he had a minimum order policy, even for
over the counter retail sales.

Acme looks like it's a mail order only operation, and their
shipping is 11.99 on small orders.

Vance-Baldwin used to have a listing in the Orlando phone
book, but they're not in the latest one. I don't know if they
still have their Orlando office or not.

The last over-the-counter, retail, electronic parts place I
know of in Orlando disappeared about 4 or 5 years ago.
It evolved into a computer shop, now I think it's completely gone.
