Named, BTW, after Hal and Ted, not the word “halted”.
Weird Stuff is gone; Eli Heffron by Kendall Square is gone…in today’s unrepairable world there’s little place hardware hackers to source the random parts like they used to carry.
- sokoloff 2y agoMendelsons in Dayton was another treasure trove of anything random they thought might eventually sell. Closed in 2020.

Maybe electronics needs a dedicated museum? Somewhere that has ISA 16-bit prototype boards and zillions of examples of ICs, vacuum tubes, connectors, passives, datasheets, and accouterment as a historical "seed vault".
