On my way home from InfoComm, I had a chance to visit what I would highly recommend as a pilgrimage to any geek,\u00a0 Skycraft Surplus.

I didn’t snap too many photos, since I thought it seemed rude, but here’s a few:<\/p>\n

Would you believe a Tektronix 519 was staring me down as I walked in the door?

\nSadly, not for sale (on second thought, maybe that’s for the best).\u00a0 Serial # 000729.<\/p>\n

Who wouldn’t want one of these?!?

Isles and isles of hardware, fasteners, fittings, switches, passive & active components.\u00a0 Drawers full of any little bolt, nut, washer, or standoff you can imagine, in a variety of materials.

This is about a third of their stock.\u00a0 I ended up picking up a few 50′ coils of some nice silicone jacketed hook-up wire, great for patch-cords.<\/p>\n

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
