Mike's Electronic Parts has been in the family since 2003. It is time for me to pass the business on to my sister. Mike's Electronic Parts will no longer accept orders after 6/19/2026. It will take us around 4 weeks to get everything moved to the new location and setup for business. The store is being renamed Atomic 29 and will be available at https://www.atomic-29.com when it is ready to go. Thank you for your patience during the move.
