Hi.
Yes Just Radio's are Canadian. I doubt buying from another retailer makes any business sense TBH, you can get 10% discount off them with orders over £100 which is what I do when I order off them but to make a success it would be better to contact the manufacturer and get decent bulk discounts.
The Russian sellers are good but again prices have risen recently due to the fall of the pound. Be careful with Russian parts, a lot of folk look that their stuff and pronounce them as rubbish, there is a lot of high quality components to be bought in Russia but conversely a fair amount of junk.
Valves imported from Russia would be a good idea but don't forget import duties can be expensive, as often as not small orders come in at no charge but not bigger boxes.
Weigh up the costs first, the price of post etc then see if you can make a living out of re-sending an item to a customer and do it cheaper than they could by ordering elsewhere.
A lot of the established companies have gone and those that are left often struggle, the take up of the hobby and the decimation of the repair trade has seen to that, so be careful and test the market before you spend a lot of money on spares that you could be lumbered with.
Other than that all I can say is good luck and if you are competitive I'd buy from you.
