Anyone know of a store in Brandon that sells 6 conductor RJ12 connectors? I'm hoping to find them locally before going online.

I bought a bag of them earlier this year. They are in the far left hand corner as you go in.

I'll take a look again. I looked where they had the cables. Saw the 6 conductor wire, but no connectors.

Where they have those types of connectors there but they had all types but the RJ12 that I need.

Try home hardware, they have a good selection of electrical parts

There isn't much they don't have...I'd say try Eecol but I think you need an account. B.A Robinson might have it too. Failing that call around to some of the electrical contractors...I'm sure Centec or Judd likely has one...I mean if for some reason you can't get it ANYWHERE in Brandon.

at Home Hardware, Rona, Canadian Tire. I will have to wait till Monday to check Westbourne. Will the sell stuff to someone who isn't a contractor and doesn't have an account with them. Thought I heard they were only for contractors.  
 
I would like to get at least a dozen or so connectors. Need to make some cables for my model railroad layout at home and the club one. We use a digital system to control the trains. They use 6 conductor phone cable to communicate with other devices we use. The 25' length I have is a little too long and need to shorten it down to make multiple cables out of it.

Have you tried calling Geeks? They make cables. Might be able to sell you some ends.

Westbourne will not sell to the public as far as I know.  
I Remember seeing the rj12 connector crimpers at princess auto in the second last row back left of the store in the surplus section don't know if they had the ends to go with though.  
I know you don't want to go online but they are 35C a piece on www.Digikey.ca the warehouse is in Winnipeg. Order today have em by Tuesday. The 8 dollar shipping is much cheaper than driving around town looking and there's not much they don't have.

It's on the rare side. What's the project?

cables to use with digital control of model railroad locomotives and other accessories. Looks like I will have to go online to purchase them.

You going East or West? (i.e. A1, or Lee's)
