Hi Clark,

I guess Eau Claire must be the regional hot spot for old TV guys to hang out. I honestly don't understand what keeps a place like that going these days. There must be some local industry or medical demands that I'm not aware of. I seriously doubt they're selling much to the consumer electronics-servicing segment today. Both Bushland and Indianhead down on Barstow are like walking into a time warp. Very cool, but also a little sad to see all the old parts setting around that hardly no one wants any more. I hope more people like Bob can save a bunch of these parts before they end up in the dumpster. Unfortunately most of what’s left of the NOS is likely 70’s and 80’s vintage TV parts.

Kevin
