I have only been here once so take my review with a grain of salt. I came here for a PSU to be used for an RC LIPO battery charger. An older gentleman employee seemed to be offended by my need for a 300+ W PSU that can put out 30+ Amps. He proceeded to talk to me like I didnt know what I was talking about and pulled a 200 dollar PSU out that met my specifications. Another customer overheard his condescending tone and came up to me and said "you can get the PSU you need for 20 bucks on amazon." He showed me on the spot from his phone the product I needed. The point is I would have been willing to buy from ORVAC even if I had to spend 50, but being talked to like the request for the product I needed was overkill or didnt even exist altogether turned me away from this shop. Some advice for the management, people dont want to feel like an idiot when they wanna converse about electronics. I knew exactly what I needed and this gentleman made me feel stupid, then tried to sling me something way over my price range. Thanks random stranger who helped me save money!

I went to Orvac in Pasadena to ask about ordering a new battery for my ADT Alarm system as ADT told me they were out of state, back-ordered and I could not get one for at least 2 weeks (no alarm this whole time...) Not a big problem, except I had an attempted break-in the night before because the alarm did not work and the technician re-set on the system apparently didnt work as planned. So, here they are, in the middle of packing to move to Monrovia. The Orvac Rep took my battery, opened a drawer and produced exactly what I needed to get my system back and running. $25 later, I was on the road with my new battery. Sharp, efficient, well mannered and excellent customer service ! Thank You !! Gwyny Pett

It has a lot of stuff you cant find at other places for really fair prices. The mananger, Jack, is a good guy. A lot of the other staff are kind of awkward...but hey, what would you expect in an electronics store.

Providing great variety selection of electrical products and computer networking items. Staffs are willing to help customers. Home Depot has sent me for something if they dont have.

A real gem if you are into electronic gizmos and gadgets. The guys there can help you with just about any project you want to do.! The equivalent of radio shack on steroids!!!

Jarrod Worlitz

When you need something specific, you know where to go. It sure isnt Radio Shack. You arent going to find it at Home Depot. Stop. Just go to Orvac and be done with it.

I was looking for a hard to find component and I only needed a few components. They treated me like I was buying the store and the staff was very knowledgeable!

I missed it when it was in Pasadena but you guys are worth the drive. One of my favorite places for cables, connectors and telco tools.

This place is great for you electronic geeks. Remember Dow Radio, Marvacs, Duvacs... They have a lot of stuff here..

John Curtis
