No idea what that exactly was, but here are the videos I could find about it. Looks like mostly surplus electronic parts (like incompletely used reels, etc)?

- ts4z 2y agoHalted was an electronics surplus store. A really good one. They had old tubes, old ICs, stuff left over from Atari. They had aisles of capacitors, some with date codes in the mid '80s, and newer surface mount stuff. They had a whole wall of 1/4 W resistors at two cents a piece. They had all kinds of random parts for keeping old electronics running, and making new stuff. And they had a receipt for an oscilloscope they sold in the '60s to some kid in Palo Alto named Steve Jobs. Unfortunately, the owner retired and sold it off for parts.

- inamberclad 2y agoThe most incredible wonderland for anyone doing electronics. You could spend days digging in there and always find something new and bizzare. Best part was that the building was practically a Faraday cage and there was no cell reception to help you identify what you were looking at. I bought an old ADF there (cheap avionics), great vacuum florescent displays, tubes, reels of SMD parts I still have, PIC microcontrollers for unreasonably good prices, and bags and bags of other old parts. The back wall of the office area was entirely lined with Halicrafters S-38 longwave radios.
