used to be Fair Radio Sales  at 
Both are a couple hours drive from the state line.  they  are large
electronics  suplus dealers that have been around for a long time

  Hi to all across the pond.
 Are there any places/stores  of interest to our hobby in Indianapolis, or
 is it a bit of a black hole?
 I am on a business trip there next week from the UK  anything worth
 seeing??
      
 I used to live in indianapolis.  It's a bit of a black hole.  There's the
 children's museum which had a rather large and interesting model train
 layout.  There's also the indianapolis motor speedway which had an old car
 museum.
 As far as old computers are concerned, not so much.  Maybe you could post an
 ad on craigs list with some things you're looking for.  Maybe you could come
 home with a new computer.
