NYC Area electronics surplus?
 
Got an upcoming business trip, am curious if there's still any old school electronics surplus stores in business there. Usually I like to check out that sort of store when I travel, the kind of place which has been around for half a century and never throws things away.

IIRC, all the electronic surplus stores were in the area of the WTC.
Maybe the gods of obsolete electronics were offended and look what happened. :sigh:

If you ever find yourself in Orlando Skycraft Surplus is worth visiting.

Similar stores I've been to include A1 Parts, in Toronto Canada, and Electronic Dimensions in Tacoma WA. Vetco in Seattle used to be similar but that was ages ago. I've heard there's still some good ones in California but never been.

There’s a store like that in Colorado Springs, they still sell tubes and such. I’ve yet to make the pilgrimage, but maybe I’ll have time to go in January???

Another good one is Chester Electronics in Kenosha.
