Great Surplus Stores?

An old friend of mine, Todd San Martin, passed on a link to me of a great surplus place in Orlando that has lots of old nasa gear and more, and it made me think that it's probably time to talk about great surplus shops again. Not just the aforementioned skycraft or the well known Weird Stuff , although feel free to dicuss those too, but I thought it would make a cool post as a jumping off point for people to talk about their favorite shops especially those near aerospace facilities, both online and off.

    It's definitely one of those awesome little surplus places filled with quirky electronics items. Solid steel keyboards that put Model Ms to shame, old satelite test equipment, hell, they even have a generator to drive an industrial laser. Plus, they've got more traditional surplus fare, like military garb and the like. Great place to shop

    Addy for the interested is:

    There's another surplus store a few doors down that I haven't been in yet (hey, stop throwing things at me), but seems to be better kept up. Judging from experience in now closed surplus places, well kept-up means that their prices are higher and they have less interesting stuff.
