Jim and Bonnie are the best, if you dont know what you want, all you have to do is ASK them n they will help you find what you need.
Love this store. I had not been here in years. Today I brought my son here. So much to look at. The owner are very nice people.
Norvac is a great shop and Jim is more than helpful.If youre needing something in the way of electronics parts, advice & help.Its the place to go!
Norvasc is the place to go when you need an honest answer to your electronically based needs. Jim is always friendly and always shoots straight. Great prices, great selection, all packed into a little bitty shop. layed out in a fashion I havent seen since the 80s true value shops. He does repairs, parts and hell know some body when you call on needs out side of his wheel house.
1st time visitor, (Jim proprietor) was very helpful. Thanks, peace ☮
Awesome parts house for all things electronic. Staff are kind, smart, and know every part by heart, how it works, what applications bit can or could be applied to. And best of all, the prices are great!
Perfect! I found exactly what I needed for my project. Also got some free zucchini to boot. While supplies last I think. Thank you for being here.
Norvac Electronics is a GREAT place to seek, AND FIND, all sorts of Legacy (meaning Old) and current day electronic parts and supplies for just about any electronic repairing, refurbishment, or build. The owners, Jim & Bonnie, are second generation owners from the family which started the company, and they are extremely knowledgeable about all things electronic, as well as really nice to work with. There prices are VERY reasonable, and if you cant find what you need their and then, they can assist you to find what you want elsewhere.They are located at 2110 Commercial Street NE in Salem. Their hours are:Monday - Friday, 8am to 5pm; and,Saturdays, 10am to 5pm
I work in the audio video world and Jim at Norvac has been a blessing. Always very helpful and typically has a solution. Thank You Jim!
Really helpful!! The owner (I assume owner) did absolutely everything he could to help me. Its so uncommon anymore that a person who works in any type of retail knows their inventory and the applications of the products its nearly shocking when someone knows where their parts are, what the parts do and on top of all that the person does their best to help a customer. Top notch. Thank you!!
I cannot brag on these nice folks enough. No one else in town had what I needed, unless I bought an entire roll of wire. I only needed 20 feet.You saved my bacon. LolThanks ever so much for your amazing service and conversation. If I’m ever back in this area I will try here first.
Ive been shopping at norvac for over 18 years. They will have or can order any electronic part you might need or can even think of.
I needed a specific component and didnt want to order online. My first thought was RadioShack but those dont exist around here anymore. I searched for electronic components Salem and found Norvac so I went there.What can I say, this is like an old school electronics shop. They have tons and tons of components like LEDs, timer chips, resistors, etc.. They have tools like wire cutters, soldering irons, screwdrivers, magnifiers, etc.. They have wire, nylon cable braid, breadboards, heat shrink, and tons of connectors too. Computer fans, SATA cables, ethernet cables and lots more.Definitely worth checking out if you need some sort of component or cable. Their prices were really good, too. I can tell why they have such high reviews!Thank you!
I love this store! I got a really good deal on what I was looking for and the gentleman who helped me was very nice and knowledgeable. Definitely my go to store for all my electronic needs! Thanks again!
I have been going to them for the past 20+ years. They are very helpful and knowledgeable about the things you want.
Didnt actually have what i needed but the lady on the phone was really nice
This place is amazing! So knowledgeable and helpful! Great advice & a wide variety of product.
This is tha place for small electronic parts in Salem area, not quite as cheap as buying online, but who wants to wait for shipping on a couple of resistors or toggle switches, good selection and a very knowledgeable owner operator guy, highly recommended, thank you.
Awesome place! Family operated and a joy to do business with.
Customer service is great. The team is helpful, knowledgeable and friendly.
An awesome one of the kind one of a kind store that no one else can equal with great service
Norvac Electronics is the pinnacle of customer service. They always have what I need, they are always willing help and instruct and they listen to great music! Zappa for president! Thank you Norvac!
Got done talking with the guy named Jim at norvac. He is very helpful and understanding and with the distance define a solution to my problem. He looked up specifications of my new amp and answered all my questions. This guy has everything in his shop that you would can imagine.
Great service. Only place in town who had my part. Will shop here again.
I have never gone in and not found what I was looking for! Plus they’re phenomenally kind people!
Every time I come to this store they have the oddball components Im looking for. Service is great as well.
Had what I needed. Great price and seems to have a good selection of parts.
Awesome 👌🆒️🙌🏽
Always get personalized expert help great place to buy electronic parts
Buy locally. Probably the most helpful and knowledgeable people when it comes to electronics. Seriously this place has everything and it’s reasonably priced
Was seeking a power supply everywhere with no luck! Remembered this place and, of course they had it! Anytime i have something like this come up Norvac always gets me out of a jam. Will shop here again for sure.
An Actual electronics shop which sells electronics parts for people who are into electronics stuff. Amazing.
Norvac electronics parts thats a wide variety and selection ofcomponents so that I am able to repair, rebuild, and design stuff. That used to be that one could go to Radio Shack part number of parts, but even didnt norvac still had a wide variety of stuff.so if youre looking to buy some solder, a soldering iron, or if you want to get some electronic kits come on down.
Been a long time customer here and at the original location. Norvac is always willing to go the extra mile and provide help. Very knowledgeable and lots of stuff in stock. Thank you for staying open 5 minutes late today just so I could get $12 in parts. Much appreciated.
Always helpful! Friendly people too!
This place is great! Got there last minute and they had exactly what I needed. When I found out that they werent taking cards for the rest of the day they trusted me to come back the next day and pay then. So not normal and thats a good thing! Thanks Norvac! By the way, it worked!
Wow - I looked in Portland for particular Amp CPC pins, but none available. I stopped by Norvac and they had exactly the pins I was looking for! And the pin extraction tool that I did get in Portland was about 8% cheaper at Norvac. Friendly folks and terrific inventory!
I have been to Norvac a number of times and have found the knowledge and service of the owners to be excellent! I am more or less tech challenged and Jim (one of the owners) has always gone above and beyond to fix my little difficulties. Today (11/3) I handed him a device and he researched it on Google for around 10-15 min until he found just the right solution. Plus they play cool music and have a cool dog.
Everything from essential parts and tools to random junk. Great for a hobbyist to browse or a pro to get in and get out.
I recently attended a class near Salem and happened to need a couple of components. All I can say is that Im jealous of Salem for having such a great place. Awesome people too. Id recommend Norvac in a heartbeat.
I have been coming here for many years. Jim is always nice and willing to answer any question you might have. While he may not always have what I am looking for, he has a wide range of things to cover most projects and repairs.
Best place to obtain various electrical engineering supplies for diy projects, since radioshack was baught out and turned into a cell phone store this is the new go-to for electrical engineering diy materials
If you have ANY Questions or need ANY help with electronics this is the place to go. The staff is great and really know their stuff. You cant go wrong by going here and their prices are the best!!!!
Great little shop with helpful owners. Dont be afraid by the external appearance. It is a clean and well stocked place for your electronic needs. Everything from resistors and transistors to car electrical and waterproof connectors.
Absolutely amazing people and kind. The best place to hang out. Great items for cheap prices. Transformers, capacitors, diodes, resistors. Newest material and great staff. Come here anytime!
Great place to get those hard to find components for your projects. The owners are super nice and helpful. The prices are great too, very comparable to online. So I say help a local businesses and definitely drop by.
Always great.
Did not have what I wanted, but were able to point me in the right direction.Very friendly.
I had a problem with trying to get an old computer to work with a new monitor It took an extra visit to get just the right hardware but in the end the problem was solved. These are excellent folks to work with: Knowledgeable, fair, and very helpful. If for example you are into old computers, this store is a gold mine for things like hard to find cables, etc. Every experience Ive had at this store has been excellent.
One of the last of its kind. I am sure i speak for everyone on this, Thank you for existing.
Just started going here, Im not sure why I didnt start sooner. They are very helpful, from carrying bulk items to packaged components. The folks here are knowledgeable, which is wonderful for someone like me whos getting started with electrical projects.
Great customer service
Im a Norvac customer of 30 years. If you need something hard to find for your difficult repair, this is the place to go . Visit Norvacs, they have more strange stuff than anyone I know. You will even find gorgeous outdated electronics perfect for wall art.Jim and Bonnie actually help you and they are really knowledgeable.Even if you dont have some special need you can always find something.The outside sign once read more things than you can shake a stick atSo of course I picked up a twig and entered shaking it. They were worried until I said that it was about their sign. Norvac is a fun store to visit.
Always have what I need.
Great place for those hard to find electronic parts. Also great people- Jim and Bonny are the best!
This is that one store that has everything thats on the internet that you cant find anywhere else as far as electronics are concerned...
Ive been going to Norvac since 1996 when I started working at Siltec in Salem. Its the only decent supplier in our area and they do a great job, and usually have what I need. They have always been very helpful, a great resource to have locally.
They are very nice and helpful people.i have been shopping there for a long time.
Great friendly place answers all your questions respectfully
Locally owned, Norvac Electronics continues to serve my electronics and cable needs. The owners are very helpful, and I have never been disappointed. I love having a local resource for electronics so I can complete my projects immediately instead of waiting for parts.
All of the parts that no one else has, or they will special order it and you get it quickly. Very good people to deal with. My favorite store for over 30 years.
The woman at the counter was very nice and helped me find exactly what I needed. They have everything.
This place is great. Support your local business! Ive been going here for over 10 years and they have all the stuff you would wait a week for online.
Just wanted to give props to the guys here. Ive bought several things from you and I keep coming back because how good Ive been treated. Keep up the good work and Ill keep on buying from you!
Was having some issues with my custom built computer keyboard and brought it in. They helped me diagnose the problem and I went home and fixed it. Great service and awesomely helpful!
Norvac is the place to find all your electronic needs! Even the smallest sized items that are difficult to find. Thanks for being there Jim! 👍
Norvac is a great place to go when I need missing parts to build something. They may not have EVERYTHING I need but I sure buy whatever I can there. I have gone in many times not knowing exactly what I need, They try Their best to help, but if I dont know exactly what I need, I dont expect them to. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it does not. When it does not work out I have no one to blame but myself.If you are going to come in to the store and complain, stay home. If you know exactly what you need, use your reading skills and make sure its what you have in your hand before you leave.
Super helpful! Took a lot of time to help me and my specific situation! I really appreciate the help and service!
I am both a vendor and a customer. I have been a customer for many years. Jim and Bonnie treat me very well no matter what side of the counter I am on.They are direct, fair, reliable and consistent.This is a firm that youll want to do business with.
Never had a problem. Always great service. Nice to not have to wait for the cheep Chinese items to arrive on eBay. I recommend.
Had to rate to be able to type.Quick question Jim.Im new to Salem, so Ive never been to your store. Ive been reading the ratings and reviews for your store, so I figured Id give you a shot, would you happen to have a cheepNVIDIA GTX 750 TI graphics card in stalk? If so, I will be at your store as soon as possible, if not, Ill keep looking
One of the best odds-and-ends electronics stores in the area. If you need an obscure part, you wont find it at Best Buy, or even Frys, odds are Norvac will have it. You can get general things like Cat6 cables and ethernet switches here as well, but theyve also got a great selection of obscure pins, connectors, relays, etc.
Jim always has the equipment and supplies I want. He is very knowledgeable and has the best customer service. A great guy and a great store.
These guys are the best always polite and helpful and always have everything I need.
Good place very helpful staff
Great service, very professional. they were out of stock on a part i needed, and promptly built me a working replacement in 5 minutes! cant say enough good things about these guys!!!
Place is realy good for those hard to find things customer service is realy good they explained everything and helped me guaranteed to go back
For over 25 years, my GoTo guy for home or office projects. Great service and knowledgeable people to help. Thanks Jim!
Great place to get your electronics components. They always have what i need and very hepful in finding it. Highly recommended!
A GREAT place to buy your Electronic needs. Cables and more. Best prices around.
A great place to get those hard to find electronic parts. Jim is always quick to help and suggest alternative ways to solve a problem.
Had everything I needed, from analog chips to diodes and switches. Way better than radio shack ever was.
Great little shop, tons of inventory, VERY knowledgeable owner.
Well stocked with electronic supplies. Any DIY in electronics would be completely satisfied.
Love Norvac, the owner is friendly and helpful and he keeps a lot of hard to get items in stock and his prices are good as well. Been going to this place for years and hope it sticks around for many more.
They had exactly what I needed and were very polite and helpful.
Great place for electronics, they know their stuff, and they can help. Not going to find much for places than can compete with the electronic parts and knowledge.
Very nice people..knowledgeable a little spendy but if you need a piece theyll More than likely have it..been coming here for well over a decade
Excellent service and fair prices. I have been buying from them for years and I am always a satisfied customer.
Very helpful and plenty of inventory. Make sure you say hi to Annie when you visit.
Excellent service and professional!!!!
They are very knowledgeable and happy to share that knowledge.
Super friendly staff and a great selection of electronics, reminds me of how radio shack should have been.
The people there were very friendly and very helpful I enjoyed the experience
Its ok i guess, 80% of the stuff they sell is like NOS (new old stock) pshh, what? they dont carry standard value components either, every time i go in there for a standard value component, 100 ohm 3 watt resistor, for example they don have it but they can order it, well so can i. most of their stuff is like weird super high value parts for computers etc. 100 meg resistors, 1000000pf caps etc, hmm. they are on the expensive side too for selling such outdated parts. this is my experience in the salem store, never been to the others. on the positive side, they are the only place you can walk into and get an electronic part if youre lucky, here in salem. check em out, you may get lucky
Good place
I love supporting local businesses and this store is AMAZING!
