It's been rather a long time since I took a trip to that area to look for
interesting junk. There was Herbach & Rademan, which I think are still
around only in NJ someplace, and a place we stumbled into calling
itself "Chassey Electronics" which was just a big warehouse full of all sorts
of junk. I remember barrels of what appeared to be keyboards from keypunch
machines (I wanted one that'd do ASCII but couldn't find one), and I ended
up paying $4 for a *big* board that I ended up salvaging close to 400 TTL
chips from.
But that was probably close to 20 years ago, or maybe more...

I think Advanced Electronics. It was out in Jersey down NJ73 if I
remember correctly. The one in Philadelphia near Oxford Circle did like
Radio Shack and went to other product lines before it disappeared.
I'd have to check if the guys who sold used computer equipment in Gray's
Ferry are still around. There was a guy in Germantown who sold old
equipment, at least he did until his roof caved in.
bs Actually there is more significance than you
give. The last parts
houses in the Philadelphia area closed down years ago.
What place was that?
