I can, but I'm not sure you could find it on your own — Ap Lui Street's street-market stalls do a good job of hiding the store-fronts ... you'd never spot the store for the stalls.
It's best to have someone who already knows where it is take you there, nightmare to find on your own.
If you must lone-wolf it, I recommend going by MTR; take exit A2 and go across the street kitty-corner, turn right. Take the sidewalk immediately in front of the stores behind the stalls, if you stay out on the street between the stalls, you'll miss it for sure. It's about 1/3 the way down the street on the left-hand side... Pic will help:
This is the view after coming out of MTR Exit A2,
See the green enclosed-balcony in the upper right of the pic? The entrance to the shop is street level just below and about 6 shops (not stalls) beyond that.
This is where I got most of my perf:
That's just the entrance, you have to go in and up a flight of stairs to get to the goodies.
There's a few other shops where I got perf, maybe even a bit cheaper, but this is probably the biggest shop and has a good selection of caps, transistors, diodes, switches, etc, too — great selection of instrument and mic cable, spools of Belden, Sommer and Canare etc so get as much or little as you need, but alas no Mogami. I tended to do most of my shopping there when I couldn't get what I wanted from Tayda.
WECL is the English name of the shop, but the English-side of WECL's website... needs sprucing up. I've tried to order online, but without any success.
Man I miss that street. Nothing like it here. Nothing like it in all of Canada.
I'm running low on perf, but won't be back in Hong Kong until about a year from now... I could take you there, then.
@VanWhy, @Sidney and/or anyone else...
I'll be in HK in a week, for two weeks, 29th to Feb 12; happy to show anyone visiting/living there my favourite haunts on Aplui Street!
