Dublin shop for Masthead amp/diplexers etc

christo82

Hi, is there any shops in dublin county that sell masthead amps and other aerial accessories? The only one I know is Maplins, but this seems fairly expensive. Is there any more local-type shops that sell these things?

Thanks

What's that shop at the top of the triangle in Skerries - Dowlings ??

As far as I know, they don't sell those kind of small accessories, only general electrical products.

I've bought from Electroplus in the past, very helpful if memory serves.

Hi christo82,
Wesco in the Donore Rd. industrial estate in Drogheda sells all that type of stuff and are reasonable.Or Vision Radio in Balbriggan also sell it but are dearer.

But I thought the are Sky installers and with the number of Aerials around Skerries and the surrounding area, I'd be amazed if they didn't do this stuff. They certainly looked like they did everything when I looked in through the door one evening a few months ago. I was looking for a connector one evening but they were closed when I got there.

It might not be called Dowlings but it was at the top of the triangle where the road splits before the Church on the road heading into Skerries from the Rush direction.

When I was ever in wescos, they only ever did grid aerials and the one wideband amp. I don't even think they had diplexers as they only sold those wideband grids.

Hi,
Yes that is correct; I was disappointed to see that it had increased recently . It was €5. However I think their prices are good and delivery next day for orders before 1600 hours is a great service.

It's a pity they don't have a warehouse type shop as well where you can go in and buy the item in person.
