I appreciate your reminiscence. It is sad that places like this don't exist or are much fewer in number. They're like used bookstores where browsing to be surprised is part of the fun. I would occasionally schlepp to an electronics surplus store in the San Fernando Valley to look around. Even when I didn't have a project in mind I would usually come up with something based on what I saw that day and would leave with the needed stuff. I checked their website just now and saw that they had closed permanently a few weeks ago after 50+ years.
