I need a 6 KOhm resistor.

Is there anywhere locally that sells components these days?

There used to be a store on campus, I think, that sold for engineering, etc. Is that still around and where is it?

Unfortunately the electronics shop in the physics department has been optimized out of existence. MidState, Radioshack are also gone.
6K is not a standard value for gumball carbon resistors. Of course they do exist but only for more (slightly) esoteric 1% tolerance devices. Also more info would be useful power rating, mounting type (through hole, surface mount, size).
Typically Mouser, RS Electronics and TTI are the distributors that get you next day delivery in Texas with UPS ground delivery, most if you order before 8pm. But most get $8 shipping. There are a few around that reach out if they are making an order to consolidate and save a few bucks. Amazon prime might get you an assortment but likely 2 day.


I likely have something but out of town until the weekend. Know lots of others locally that might have some if you need today, my email is in my profile.

Crawford Electrical

I don't specifically need 6k ohm, something in the 5-8k range. I'm bypassing a sensor in my car as a diagnostic before I pay to replace the sensor.

Can't help with a good place locally but mouser.com is where I get most of my stuff since mid state shutdown. Mouser is based in the metroplex so ground shipping arrives the next day.

I may have something in that range in my stash. I will look when I get to the office tomorrow

Ill be in this weekend. Should have plenty of 5.6 6.2 6.8k among others
