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.

It's been many years but the closest places with anything of interest
used to be Fair Radio Sales at http://fairradio.com/
and Mendelson's in Dayton www.mendelsons.com
Both are a couple hours drive from the state line. they are large
electronics suplus dealers that have been around for a long time

I'll be in Indianapolis from the 27th through the 29th
(Friday-Sunday). Does that overlap with your business trip?

Really ? So will I. My parents live there and we'll be visiting for
Christmas.
Places to visit in Indianapolis (assuming we're talking about electronic
"junk" places, that is) -
MAI Prime (some surplus stuff)
King Electronics (mostly new parts and tools)
Electronic Rainbow Kits (mostly simple little kits)
I'm afraid to say none of them are really unique enough to be worth a
special trip, but if you're going to be there anyway...
