I haven't been in the San Francisco area in about 30 years.
I remember a number of used computer/electronics stores back then, can't
remember any names except Weird Stuff Warehouse.
Are there any stores that are worth a visit?
What about outside of the SF area?

If you are after components Arrow Electronics and Jameco are good.

Arrow and Jamco are mostly retail with some classic parts.

Halted may not be too long in following. The guys that run it want to retire. If someone
doesn't pick up the business they may have to drop it as well.
I hadn't been over to ACE in about a year or more. It is too bad. They had parts that
no one else had.

When I was in, I think it might have been Sunnyvale, about 30 years ago,
there was a converted Safeway Supermarket that was full of surplus
computer equipment.? It was the old style Safeway with a big arching
ceiling held up by huge wooden beams.? Does this ring any bells with anyone?
but I've been told ACE has gone out of

Their website is now owned by a squatter.

Weird Stuff Warehouse? On Jamaica or Caribbean, iirc.
