If you are looking for ANY electronic part this is the place for you. As others have stated, there is no service. They more than make up for that with the greatest selection of used and new electrical/electronic parts ever. If this guy doesnt have it in stock, he likely has it in storage. The few reviews that have been written by "dissatisfied" customers dont grasp the OEM business model. OEM Parts resembles of a "You Pull It" junkyard. You dont have to actually pull the part off of some old junker but you do have to find it. The owner will usually put you on the right aisle, but the rest is up to you. If you want Radio Shack, with no real selection, overpriced Chinese crap, and a sales force whose real job is to push cell phones and toys, go there. If you want to find that special part (power supply, switch, capacitor, fan, connector, etc.) then head to OEM Parts. They probably have what you need.

The worst customer service i have had in my life! Walked into the door with a USMC vet to be greeted by someone who should NOT be aloud to do more than scrub toilets. It is a shame too because i had been looking for a place like this. I promise i will never walk through their doors again considering how offensive this young punk was to my war vet dad. Very rude and even more disrespectful.. Stand your lazy A$$ right in the middle of the isle and go off on a US MARINE for asking politely "excuse me" ! You should be ashamed of yourself! No fear of us EVER visiting this store and would ask that all veterans and their families do the same.At least until this punk is shipped off to McDonalds where he belongs

This place is the cats meow. I came in looking for some random parts for a digital hot plate Im building; ended up spending 2 & 1/2 hours there browsing for parts, and they have everything I needed. This may sound like too long for some people, but I was in Hog Heaven. They have an incredible selection, and super low prices, but youre gonna have to dig for what youre after. OEM is an invaluable resource for any electronics hobbyist living on the front range. 10/10 would recommend

My 34 year old Terex quarry loader was robbed of all its copper. OEM had 85% of the things I needed to rebuild the electrical harness. Tell me one place in this retarded big box city that would even know what a in-line capacitor is... NONE! Not ken-worth or even Caterpillar, thank you Mr. Peacock for being good at what you do! Its people like Dick that should be teaching college courses and running big corporations, not the spoon fed children like I encounter at homodepo. Cheers!

This place is heaven for electronics and who knows what else, bought a lab stereo microscope cheap! and all kinds of computer stuff also hose for my hot tub. I have been going here for 20 years, its my first stop if I need something. Best to take sometime to walk the aisles and see were stuff is at. It has the service like a auto scrap yard, they will point you in the right direction but then you start the search. They usually have it! Just got to find it. Great place.

I called one evening to check their store hours. A loud voice boomed "HELLO" in the most annoyed voice Ive ever heard. I then asked for their store hours and he yelled into the phone "were CLOSED!" I couldnt help but laugh in the guys ear and decided to disconnect the call. From the other reviews it sounds like there are plenty of parts to choose from; but you might be impaled by a trident if you choose to give them business.

Its a place full of lots of electronic, audio, computer, and other electronic parts and tools. Can be difficult to figure out where things are especially for a very specific versus general part. Main reason I go there are the prices on most stuff is very low and no waiting for shipping to buy online. But sometimes Ive left frustrated believing the obscure thing I wanted was in the store somewhere, I just couldnt locate it.

Electronic nerds paradise: caps, diodes, resistors, transistors, ICs, sockets, tubes, pots, knobs, coils, transformers, displays, switches, wires of every length and type, etc. No one really knows whats in there. You just have to search. Maybe youll find it, maybe youll find something that you dont really need but want anyway. Most stuff is cheap although some stuff is overpriced.

Insufficient customer service. But if you know what you need, they probably have it. Ive been a customer of OEM for 23 years. They carry a great UHF/VHF/FM yagi antenna that easily fits into small attic spaces and locked in 30 HDTV channels from a house in Northern Col. Spgs.

This place is literally a treasure trove of electronic gadgetry from component to computer. Wire, connectors, test equipment, probes and even plug-in transformers. It is self serve, so you need a little knowledge, but if you got the time to look, its worth it.

After 13yrs of being loyal a customer. I will never be returning. Who ever the guy is with the glasses and shaved head. Hope he gets fired, I have never been treated like that. Both walking in and leaving he was rude and extremely disrespectful.

This place kills! Absolutely no customer service and every damned thing you could possibly want! Its the best dirt mall for the electronics geek there is. What they lack in etiquette, they MORE than make up for in parts. This place rocks!

I love this place. If you cant find it at OEM parts you probably just werent in the right section... Or what youre looking for got buried. Its definitely on the top of my list of places to go when Im in the mood to build something. =)

This place is absolutely incredible. They carry nearly any electrical component you could ever need, as well as vintage electronics & PC components. Staff is willing to offer some advice on projects.

Dont buy a motherboard at this place. Bought a defective ddr3 motherboard. It was dirty, parts were messy. Go somewhere else that would treat their product well then just stacking it with the others.

This place may not be as clean and organized as a Big Box store but they have anything you may need at very cheap prices. I will not go any place else for my electronics.
