I will be vacationing in the Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida area next week and I am wondering if there any "must see" surplus stores in the area? I am specifically looking for a good selection of quality passive parts and transformers.
Many thanks for any leads!

If you get over to the Orlando area, then you must visit Skycraft Surplus in Winter Park Skycraft .Take the Fairbanks exit off of I-4 and look for the UFO. The website does not do it justice as the inventory seems to change over daily. Note that it is not open on Sundays. I can't tell you how many projects have been sourced from this place!
I have to agree with jcsveth. When I lived in Orlando my friends and I would make weekly visits to Skycraft for new parts, replacement parts, replacement parts for our replacement parts, and new ideas. The inventory is always changing and the people are actually somewhat friendly. I urge you check it out. You might want to leave extra room in your suitcase. Actually, if your flying, I'd ups anything back home, no telling what airport security could mistake a power transformer for.😱
