Chesters is, I think, the ONLY electronics supply store left in the Midwest. Im not talking electronic gizmos (they have some), Im talking capacitors, resistors, diodes, transformers, and test equipment. What Radio Shack used to be in the 70s & 80s. So if you know how to use a soldering iron, check this place out!

Review №21

Great service. I cant remember the guys name, but hes the one Ive seen there the most when I go, and hes been very helpful. He seems very knowledgeable. They dont always have everything I need, but usually they do. Prices are a little high on things like radios, but if you just need parts (mounting brackets, bulbs, etc...) their prices are very reasonable.

I had my AC capacitor go out last night and by morning the house was a sizzling 85! In high hopes that Chesters had the part I headed over there. I was greeted happily and didnt need to explain to much of what I was looking for. He knew what I needed just by looking at a few numbers! Great service and they always have what Im looking for. My family thanks you for cooling our house down.Support your local business!

Looking for obscure electronic or computer parts? Check Chester. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Just browsing the aisles is fun. If you need to do solder level repairs on anything, this is your place to find what might be needed.

Review №46

Our family business encounters a lot of weird, confusing, probably-not dangerous electronics problems A LOT. We always send our techs here.So when I encountered a domestic electrical issue, that was the first place. Gary was clear and honest about possible sources of the problem. I tried the obvious stuff, but he still walked me through double checking my part, tools and equipment; all the whole knowing this charger was specialty and would have to be replaced through the originator. He did not know we are always sending business. He just told the truth as he saw it.Honest and helpful, an asset to the community.

Review №47

This place is a blast from the past. Seriously it looks like you stepped into the early 1980s. Their prices are kind of high but this is the only place around that you can still get all sorts of interesting hobby electronics stuff. Think like an old time Radio Shack store but like 5x the size.

Jo
Review №48

Had an excellant visit. The man working there was more then helpful. Walking in was like a Blast from the Past

Review №49

The people were nice. They were also very busy the entire time I was in there. Although they told me they had what I needed, when I got there they did not. The man who work there guided me into how I could fix my own problems and was able to show me how to do it. Save me lots of money in the end. The store and the staff are a little outdated. They can use a course in some modern technology.

This store is so old you can smell the vintage atmosphere. Its an old grocery store, but its been Chesters for as long as I can remember. This is a great place to buy cheap electonics like cords and things. I recently had to buy a headphone splitter and it was only $3.

Thanks to the staff at Chester Electronics for taking the time to help me out on a couple of my latest light projects. If your in need of Leds,switches,wire and pretty much any electrical parts Chester Electronics is the place to go. My golf cart and quad bicycle now light up the night thanks to the lights and electrical parts you supplied me.

Ive been a customer for 25+ years and servicing electronics even longer. When I need a part asap, Chesters is the first place I check. Their friendly staff has done a great job helping with crossing part numbers and keeping their inventory in stock. They also have vacuum tubes in stock that is a godsend for my vintage repairs. Thanks guys!!

Review №72

They have an amazing Hodge podge of electronic components, parts, tools, devices, and equipment. Got an ancient piece of gear that might have a bad tube in it? They have a vacuum tube tester, and theres a good chance they have the tubes in stock.The only drawback is its predominantly a surplus sales store, meaning they have a lot of anything, but not necessarily everything. Always worth a check before trying to order it online.

Review №80

All staff members readily share their knowledge, provide great personal service, and suggest cost effective repair solutions. The store is jammed pack with electronics and electronic devices, specialty took necessary to fix any electronic devices from the tube based equipment through computer communications devices. Chester Electronics has the only tube tester that I have seen in a store since 1976! Chain stores and internet cannot compete with Chester Electronics knowledge, experience, and expertise, competitive price, and quality.

Best place to shop for parts! Whether you are looking for parts to fix vintage radio or TV, or looking for support parts for the newest gizzmo, Chester has it all.I retied and moved to the St. Louis area this last summer and sure do miss them. Im a Ham radio operator and have time for homemade projects, I guess Ill just have to travel to Kenosha when I need things!

Review №82

So I normally work Monday thru Saturday so its tough to get up to Chester Electronics. However for the Labor Day holiday I had a Saturday off. I pitched the idea to my wife to go up there. The outlet mall is just a few miles away. Hint. Hint. Guys. After she agreed i had to put a list of parts that i needed together, get the car ready, get the kid ready, and drive an hour to get there. So by the time all of that was completed we were going to arrive right at closing time. We called and asked if they wouldnt mind staying open for us for a bit longer. Which they did. So Saturday night before a holiday weekend they stayed open for 45mns to gather the parts i needed. In doing so they have earned my business permanently. Cheers to the return of customer service!
