On my way home from InfoComm, I had a chance to visit what I would highly recommend as a pilgrimage to any geek, Skycraft Surplus.
I didn’t snap too many photos, since I thought it seemed rude, but here’s a few:
Would you believe a Tektronix 519 was staring me down as I walked in the door?
Sadly, not for sale (on second thought, maybe that’s for the best). Serial # 000729.
Who wouldn’t want one of these?!?
Isles and isles of hardware, fasteners, fittings, switches, passive & active components. Drawers full of any little bolt, nut, washer, or standoff you can imagine, in a variety of materials.
I need one of these for my Meth Lab.
Somehow, I walked out of here spending less than $50, probably because none of these would fit in my carry-on.
This is about a third of their stock. I ended up picking up a few 50′ coils of some nice silicone jacketed hook-up wire, great for patch-cords.
And finally, I snapped a few close-ups of the 519’s bezel, since mine doesn’t have one, and I’m attempting to recreate it
More on that effort in another post.
