When they bagged them individually, it could be "self-serve". And yes,
those things last long as artifacts.

There's a place here that looks like a parts store forty years ago. I'm
not sure it's been in the same location all that time, but it's been
around at least that long. Specializing in shortwave, it's an odd mix of
parts and old equipment. And the window is wonderful, all kinds of old
junk, including packaged parts from the old days.
