My favorite was "surplus row" on S. Michigan Ave. in Chicago.   I know
that New York had a similar electronics slum...

There was also Fair Radio Sales, and Radar Research. Also, C&H in Pasadena. HGR in Cleveland is supposed to be quite fantastic, but mostly industrial and CNC machinery.

I went to the Canal street surplus shops in NYC when I was a little kid, so late 1950's early 1960's.
A total blast!  Want a complete IBM 650 computer?  They had it!
