Well I work at Caltech (Pasadena) and live in a city

I'm not aware of any good "classic computing" spots. Wish I did.
My favorite electronics spots are Dow (now Mavac) and C&H, both on Colorado
Blvd. Tim Shoppa turned me on to Empire Electronics in Old Town Pasadena.
Apex Electronics (or something like that) on San Fernando Rd in Sun
Valley. Mostly electronics (old!) and parts and pieces. Nothing remotely
computing that isn't beige, and damn little of that.
That's about it.
Good luck,

I'm going to Los Angeles, CA for a few days
next week on business. Are there
any good spots to check out for classic computing / electronics gear? I'll
probably be in the Pasadena area. Last time I went I was in Ceritos, and all
the cool electronics surplus places I've heard of were closed. I also have
the luxury of several equipment boxes that will be shipped along with me and
returned on my way back :)
