Used to be, many many maaannnnnyyyy years ago you could head down to
Canal Street (Radio Row) in Manhattan and you could walk through a dozen
electronics surplus places, many had scopes, computers, parts,
connectors and such.... there is still like 1-2 left, but their
inventory is more junk then anything worthwhile and we do find any of
use, they want double what its worth.
Now its all tourist crap and car stereo suppliers.....
