[WTSHNN]

I've probably bought something from all the major suppliers over the years.

I do most of my parts shopping online so the web store interface is important to me. I find that Bratton's is the easiest online store to use.

I have visited and toured Berts, Brattons, and Snyders and have found all to be welcoming and knowledgeable. Those are my go-to parts suppliers.

I've had two small problems with two vendors I won't name. I felt they could have done more to right a wrong. So, I stopped giving them my business and instead stick to the vendors who have come through for me in the 20+ years I've been playing Model A's and they keep me happy.

Being in Chicago most parts get to me in about the same amount of time regardless of where I order. I think with my three preferred vendors they try to get packages out the door as soon as possible so there isn't a lot of lag between order and delivery.

Regardless, we're incredibly spoiled to have the options available to us.
