[Milsurplus] NYC Surplus stores?

[Gil Kellersman]

Here is the new address for the store for Barry Radio:
Barry Electronics Corp
99 2nd Ave # 2 
New York, NY 10003

(212) 420-0500

I called them and their website is down... They carry
mainly Icom and Kenwood. They export heavily to South
America but anyone can buy radios there. Not sure if
they have a showroom or not as I have not been there..
Oh, there is always Lentini Radio in Newington, CT
about a mile from the ARRL Headquarters....Gil
