There was also Fair Radio Sales, and Radar Research. Also,
C&H in Pasadena. HGR in Cleveland is supposed to be quite
fantastic, but mostly industrial and CNC machinery.
I went to the Canal street surplus shops in NYC when I was a
little kid, so late 1950's early 1960's.
A total blast! Want a complete IBM 650 computer? They had it!
