Post by thread:[OT] Junk Shops

I have heard much talk about purchasing parts from "Junk Shops" or "Surplus Shops" but I am clueless as to where to look for these type of places to purchase electronic components. If someone could give me a clue as to where I can begin to find some of these stores it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Michael Barker P.S. - I live in the Rochester, NY area, so if anyone knows any in this area, please speak up!

We've got lots locally: Gateway (chicago based I think), and of course FRYS started out that way. Happy hunting. kelly William K.
