    For Midwesterners, check out American Science and Surplus. Same premise: cheap stock of electronics and science gadgets and parts!

    Looks like heaven to me. When I lived in Portland, we had Wacky Willy's, which was a huge place with this kind of stuff. Sadly, it's closed now...although my wallet is fuller and my garage doesn't have so much weird stuff in it.

    Ok, this may be a minor thing, and perhaps you changed the name on purpose, but it is spelled RadioShack, no space.

    There is a store something like this (even has the box of random arms and legs!) in St. Paul MN called ax-man surplus
    the people there really have a sense of humor, every item is tagged with a goofy description
