Does anyone know of a Surplus electronic store in the San Antonio area?

or

A good electronic component store... in San Antonio as well.

Thanks!

Since this thread is about surplus stores, could somebody suggest some locations in LA or Orange county (S. Calif)?

I will need about a total of 400,000uf of capacitance (25V min rating) for the 2 channels of my Aleph-X project.

I've learn that Apex Jr has sold out all of his 1000 pieces of Phillip 27,000uf/63v capacitors.

Another good store is Cal-State electronics. Its off the the 10 between I5 and I405 in LA. The owner, Dick Landis, is a very spry 81 years old and has a ton of NOS components. Give him a call before you go over. I don't have his number with me but he is listed in the Yellow Pages.

In Salt Lake City its Ra-Elco for surplus and new electronic parts. "If they don't have it....You don't need it".
Located on main Street just south of 27th south.
Great source for mil spec 1% metal film resistors, silver plated teflon covered wire, surplus LARGE electrolytics and many other things.

Also for you Vacuum tube freaks there is Salt Lake Instrument on 1300 South near West Temple. Ask to talk to Bill the owner who is no less than 84 years old. Lots o stuff is in boxes so you have togo through things to find the good stuff. Bill is a nice guy and he likes to share tales of when he was in WW-2. He recently had a quadruple bypass but was back to work at the store the following Saturday!
For you video freaks....I wasn't expecting to find a bunch of surplus LCD panels there but I once found two Farnsworth Image Dissector tubes on a top shelf there....both are now in museums where they belong.....Too bad he didn't save the cameras they came out of....

In Bangalore, everybody knows about SP road, but knowing where to find stuff in SP road can get tricky. I put together this page (http://wiredworld.tripod.com/tronics/where_to_buy.html), but it's not very extensive. If anyone can give me more inputs, I'll be happy to add them to that page.
