[Boatanchors] Seattle trip, anything good to see?

[Perry Lind]

Well I have been here for a lot of years and since Radar Electric
unloaded the BA stuff I have not found much they are still in business @
168 Western Ave W.  Not sure what they have now the last time I was
there they just had new stuff, kits and parts.  It put a big crimp in
the local surplus market here when "they" made them stop scrapping ships
here unless they did it in a drydock, and that doesn't pay.  There was a
store near the Amtrak station in Tacoma (South of Seattle) but I haven't
heard from him and last time I went looking for it I was unable to
locate it.

Good luck, if you dig anything up please post it.

   Someone who lives around the Seattle area surely remembers this
place...

   What happened to the "Old Technology Shop"?  They used to be at 7712
Aurora Avenue North,  206/527-2829

   I remember going by the place several times, but I could never get
there when it was open.  They had posted hours of:
   12:30 - 6:00, Wed thru Sat, 2:00 - 6:00 Sun but these seemed to be
'more honored in the breach' etc.

   The place always had interesting items on display in the window,
generally 'vintage hi-tech' stuff, like anything from BA Tektronix
o'scopes to Marchant mechanical calculators to slide rules.

   Eugene, I hope you enjoy your stay -  this place would be well worth
a visit if it is still there...  Does anyone know if the "Old Technology
Shop" is still in business?
