Allied is still in business ... at least there is a company called
Allied Electronics Inc. in business.  They use the old Allied Radio
logo, the A with the dot in the middle.  They are supposedly a
subsidiary of a company called Hall-Mark Electronics.  They have a
HUGE catalog (in keeping with the Allied tradition) of about 800
pages, the size of a good sized phone book.  They seem to be more of
an industrial electronics supplier now, meaning prices are only a deal
when you buy in quantity.

I was impressed with their service though.  The couple of times I
ordered something from them, they were very courteous and went out of
their way to make sure I found what I was looking for.  I was very
impressed with their inventory, they carry a lot of hard to find
items.  It is also kind of interesting how there are a number of Radio
Shack items in their catalog.  Kinda makes me want to know what the
real Allied <-> Radio Shack connection is.
