Electronics Surplus Stores in NC? East Coast?

Definitely check out Trader Joe's (not the grocery store). This is a shop behind his residence. When I need a part it's where I go. Obviously not the same capacity as what linked but decent supply none the less. Here is an antenna base he makes. The other pictures are taken throughout the shop. However, there is another room (probably 40x25) that's not pictured which is full of bulk parts.

I can vouch for Mendleson's in Dayton. It's in an old warehouse (death trap if it ever caught fire) with about four floors of you name it. Just crazy stuff. Perhaps the prices are a little bit on the high side, but if you need a panel from a cold war radar system price might not be an object.

Oddly enough the company is/was somehow associated with Dayton Audio/Parts Express, that make some pretty decent speakers and raw drivers.

If you decide to take a trip to Dayton, also check out the Wright-Patterson Air Museum. There are some very rare pieces in the collection including some old Air Force One's, an X-15, Stealth Nighthawk and a Space Shuttle trainer.

If your a music collector there's a terrific used CD store near the U of Dayton.

Good luck.

I should just send you to my father's house. My daughter has begun to refer to him as and electrical and computer supply hoarder. Oh yes anyone who has exmuch of anything or isn't the neatest housekeeper has now entered hoarder territory in her 8 yr old mind.

You guys are all fantastic, thank you so much.
This will keep me busy for years to come I'm sure!

There is a group called "Anything with a Plug" that collects old electronics for recycling; they might sell usable parts as well (or at least consider it if you went to them).
