Jim and Bonnie are great people and an excellent team. Shops like this are getting harder to find and Salem is lucky to have a shop like this still around. Our latest mission was getting my radio setup built out for the Gambler 500.just go in, even if its to look around

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.

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.

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.

10/22/19 I was impressed with the inventory and cleanliness of the store. Owners were nice and helpful. And best of all they actually had the connector I needed.I prefer a brick-and-mortar shop any day, especially for these kind of Parts.I would recommend.

Review №16

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!

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.

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.

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.

Review №70

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.

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

Review №75

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.

Review №98

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
