[time-nuts] OT Question - Surplus Places

[Stanley Reynolds]

I'm in Birmingham and even the thrift stores here list their stuff on ebay, could give you a list of closed places, was one in Decatur ... 

You can find places using ebay and see if they will let you come by for a look, no joy for time-nuts stuff but for other stuff this has worked for me.

UAB has had auctions in the past but checking their web site no updates ...

Hamfest are the best bet to pickup items not on ebay but to be honest my favorites are in Georgia.

Never heard of elis and I have been out here 12 years.
NH had some places and as mentioned a few exist. I used to visit some just
across the ma/nh boarder. But most of what I have seen has been the very
very bottom of the barrel.
Oh for the flea market days when trucks of test equipment showed up at and
was about $25 per unit at the end of the day. Carry away sales.
The stuff was maybe 10 years old. Sure it may or may not have worked. But
the gamble was worth it.
I learned a lot about how to build and engineer equipment from the repair of
that stuff.
And to this day I still remember "The one that got away". The trunk was
already loaded/jammed with goodies. End of the flea market, back of a large
truck was a full voltage cal lab for about $50. Good shape physically.
These were the fluke standards and voltage amplifiers DC and AC the whole
shootin match.
Oh well those were the days. Good memories.
