It has to have been Apex that I visited. The back areas were a mix of open
sky and sort of sheds.
Don't want to be there in an earthquake. After the Northridge quake,
they had to rearrange their outdoor maze to improve safety somewhat.
The air was typically pretty dry so the stuff held up well. There were
things I would have liked to have grabbed.
Could easily see a day digging around.
Indeed - the only problem I have with Apex is that if what you're
looking at is junk, but would look good on a set, they can make more
money renting it to a production than selling it - and it's priced
accordingly. Anything with a rack full of blinky-lights panels has
likely been rewired to be "blinky lights".
They have (or used to, haven't been there in about 5-6 years) an
excellent selection of multi pin circular connectors at reasonable
prices - very handy if you've got some surplus gear with no cables.
Test equipment tends to be aged - Unless you have a particular need for
a HP 600 series microwave signal generator, there are probably better
sources available much cheaper that use more modern components. In this
day and age, I don't think people should suffer through 141T spectrum
analyzers or even a 8568- Spend your money an a nice USB unit instead.
Inside its stacked to the 20 ft ceilings and they have ladders like you see
in home depot to get to the top.
There was a genrad admittance bridge on the top shelf. In good condition
and in the nice wood box.
I did not go to C&H as I simply ran out of time. Pretty good?

Geez. The Agilent IEEE-1588 units I mentioned a month or two ago were
the last things I bought there.
There is one crazy place down in northern LA. Some what hard to get to
but
my god the stuff. Overwhelming. They dicker also. Nothing like a tough
bargain was there 3 years ago.
I happen to have returned from a family spring break in LA/SD just
today. Yesterday I visted C&H surplus in Duarte and picked up a couple
items, one was way-underpriced. This morning I was at APEX Electronics
in Sun Valley. Overwhelming is right. Being where they are in LA they
have a fair amount of prop business. Imagine the backroom at
WeirdStuff. Now imagine ther same thing, only open to the sky, out
back. I inquired about a couple items near the front, but didn't have
room in the car (or my wallet) for them. The Yelp reviews are accurate.
