So, I'll be traveling to Tokyo in a little under 3 weeks now, and one of the things I've been most excited for is digging through all of the little electronics shops around Akihabara. However, I feel like I remember hearing somewhere that a lot of the electronics shops have moved somewhere else now that most of the anime/manga/game crowd have come into the area. I would appreciate if anyone has any insight on this, if it's true at all or not, or where else to look for electronics components while in Tokyo. Thank you for your time.
EDIT: Also, some other places outside of Akihabara to look in general would be nice to know. Hoping to try and find some older chips for music synthesizers and/or video game console modding specifically, but also trying to find some neat niche chips to inspire future electronics projects.
