[GreenKeys] Old NYC Canal Street Surplus

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

yes  had a Pally's  in calif....but in the late  60s   was kind of 
disappointing
 
Olsen electronics as it was called in  LA in the 60s  was on the  way  home 
 from dad's  work  so I would have him snag stuff  for us!

There  was an Olson in Buffalo NY in 1982. They seemed to buy out all 
the  leftovers from consumer electronics manufacturers when production of 
a  model ended. One item I remember well was a power transformer from a  
Sylvania TV that had sockets for two 5U4s in the top end bell. They  
slanted outward at an angle, looked cool. Also, Olson supplied a kit of  
parts to build the "sweet sixteen" Hi-Fi loudspeaker system that was  
very popular in the late 50s.  Does anyone remember Pally's (or  
Palley's?) and Wag-Aero? They sold mostly military surplus aircraft  
mechanical and electric stuff.
