Buying electronics in Vaud/Lausanne

Dear Blog!

First post!  I am hoping to combine little things I find about Switzerland here with the hope that I can find this information readily available in the future.  I may even be able to help the english-speaking fellows who come visit/live in the region.

This post is about finding electronics shops like RadioShack or just the corner robotics/hobby store. Apparently not a lot of physical stores are left of this kind in Switzerland. Internet shops dominate the market. I asked Pierre Etienne, the computer's guy here at the institute, and he gave me the following links:

PHYSICAL stores

Maybe MIGROS, MediaStore, and perhaps even InterDiscount may have a few things, but not a lot.
