Maplin was a wonderful source of electronic components for nearly 50 years but they went into administration and their 200+ stores ceased trading. The Maplin brand was purchased by a third party and re-launched as an online store only in January 2019. The original Maplins operated from a shop near to Southend on Sea with adverts in all the electronics magazines!
