[Milsurplus] Surplus stores, then and now

[Conklin/Straw]

Eli Heffron & Sons, spent alot of time there trying to find something 
affordable.

In Paterson, New Jersey Dave Wasserman ran Veterans Salvage on Market 
Street. Long, narrow store with an aisle up the middle. Floor to 
ceiling electronics. The usual suspects. One or two bare bulbs hanging 
from the ceiling. Dark as a pocket. Great place for a kid to learn 
about stuff.

Hey Dave, what's a bolometer for?
Might have to do with adjusting those string ties...
Thanks Dave.

Store disappeared in the '70's.
