Shapiro Supply used to have a place in the city of St. Louis 
on Pennsylvania avenue, in the shadow of the Carter 
Carburetor superfund site.  They mostly dealt in scrap 
metal, but had a modest pile of test gear and such from 
McDonnell and Emerson bids.  I got a few things from them.  
After they moved a half mile or so NorthEast, they seemed to 
get much more into the industrial supply of non-ferrous 
metal, and the interesting surplus lots seemed to be much 
sparser.  They do still have some bits and pieces in the 
basement.  I haven't been there in a couple of years, I think.
