Mythbusters and the surplus store
 

Last night on Mythbusters, the 2 guys
went to a surplus store in the SF bay
area. I've never seen this store and
was wondering if anyone else knows what/
where it is?

You mean the computer place or the junkyard? I assume the computer
place was Fry's, dunno about the junkyard.

The new place is Excess Solutions. There's also Halted Specialties,
Alltronics (which may not have a retail location anymore), Mike
Quinn's (near Oakland Airport). Hal-Tek has closed.

There probably are still a few more.

Triangle machinery in San Jose is incredible. They had a table
covered with ballscrews!

The metal yard looked like Alan Steel and Supply on
101 & Whipple (east) Redwood City, CA 650-369-2526.

The computer outlet looked like Surplus Computer Retail
Store located at 1600 Duane Ave, Santa Clara, CA.
