Thanks Tim Sloan for the heads-up on the electronics surplus store "Fair Radio Sales" in Lima,OH. Leah and I had fun poking around in there. They are closing the business in June and will auction all off in August. Founded in 1947! Do you remember the ads? I Do. WG7D.

That was a strange place...they'd get all funny on selling certain items for a reasonable price, and everything they had was "Used, Repairable" per DD1577-2...lol it was there because it was junked already and should have had a DD1577 on it.

They did have a wide selection of things, however, and they were the place to get some weird stuff. When I worked at Lucent I pointed the test set department towards them because they were selling GenRad noise generators (working, surprisingly) and we needed one for an ancient telemetry test set. Bought a lot of odds n ends off of them, all kinds of hardware, knobs, lampholders, etc.

That nasty old lumber store building...better than the bunker building they had, but still, lol.

That just leaves a few of the surplus houses in Fairborn standing.
