[Boatanchors] A visit to Fair Radio - photos

[Geoff]

Boston had Eli Heffron & Sons after Radio Shack got out of the WW2 surplus 
biz. They are still around but now pretty much all modern and computer 
surplus.

At least we still have Nearfest twice a year which is truly a time capsule 
as far back as the 20's.
