[GreenKeys] Murphys Surplus

[Gordon Smith]

Ahhhhh....Gateway Electronics......nice memories.....

The nice thing is that the guy who ran the counter at Gateway (Manny) 
bought a LOT of the inventory and went into business for himself. 
It's now SD Electronic Supply and is literally a stone's throw from 
the old place.

Manny has discrete components, a decent amount of electronic surplus 
jun...errrr...."stuff"...... and ever so often an absolute goldmine 
of old electronics. I bought a pristine Non-Linear Systems Digital 
Voltmeter from him. It's the electromechanical, "edge lit" display 
one that had to have been manufactured sometime in the late 1950's. 
You can hear the relays click as it works. *grins*
