Backwater == St. Louis, BTW, a place I visit pretty often.
Still my all time favorite, Stu's Gateway Electronics still going.
Recently touched base with them
when I found a giveaway. My cousin caught hell when he took me to one
of their first locations
down on Delmar. You don't take a 10 or 12 year old who likes to junk to
Gateway w/o expecting
consequences.
Sadly "junky electronics on natural bridge" Electronics Exchange is
going or gone, with the owner
retired. Gotta leave things kind of bleak but for Gateway.
I did see a "Boeing Surplus" sign on Lindbergh, north of 270, but have
not gotten anyone to go
check it out.
The original poster (Jon) had quite a nice pile as did I as well, but
those were days with a lot more
nice stuff than now. (70s)
thanks
Jim
