I'm looking for a reputable dealer of equipment (mushrooms, blue boards, purple boards, mod plugs etc.); I would love to have some input as to who y'all use. I would gladly say I was referred by the users and maybe get y'all a little kickback. Thanks in advance.

Solonics, Inc. is an excellent manufacturer of backboards and they will sell direct to you. Many of the Bell companies buy from them. Their phone number is 650-589-9798. Contact is Carl.
Target Distributing is very good for the remaining items. Their number is 800-873-5528. Contact is David Smith (X1134).
Eltas Direct is very good as well. They are in your neck of the woods anyway, so delivery times should be pretty good. Their number is 800-488-2830, contact is Joe.

I'm glad this came up, and hope I don't derail the topic too much...
I miss the day when I used to walk into AllTel in Dallas and say to the guys behind the counter, "give some cross connect wire, some D Rings, and a box of biscuit jacks." and they knew exactly what I meant. Didn't need me to give him a part number. Oh well...
Now, depending on the items, I use Anixter (just about anywhere), ADI (Mempis TN), and TeleDynamics (Austin TX). But most of the time I have to explain in excrusiating (sp?) detail what it is I'm looking for. Gave up on Graybar a while back because they lost EVERY bid I shot their way. Anixter is most expensive of the three that I use, however they have a big selection.
I may check out some of the vendors mentioned.

Graybar in Phila. used to have many common use supplies out in open,I'd walk thru picking up what I needed and usually bought more because of it.Then they put everything behind counter,I started buying only needed items as it takes time to go thru counter guy. Now they have many items back on shelves in public area ,much faster shopping.

Graybar in Cleveland has a large counter area with stuff out in the open. It's nice because you can see the product. They also have free popcorn and donuts. The alarm suppliers also have most everything out in the open. One of the electrical suppliers I deal with locally has EVERYTHING behind the counter, so you tell them what you need, they write it down, go get it, and you hope it's the right thing. On electrical supplies, I never know part numbers so sometimes it's a guessing game.
