[Milsurplus] War Surplus Radio Store recreated?

[Thekan, Paul]

Hello all

   Does anyone know of a 'recreated' War Surplus Radio store display anywhere here in the states? I know there are still a few surplus radio/electronic store survivors out there but I'm talking about the stores some here remember from the post war years into the late 60's, filled with the older gear and parts , many still NIB.

 There was a recreated War Surplus store display done sometime back in the 90's as I remember a friend showing me an article in the Smithsonian magazine where this was done...maybe it was at the Smithsonian. It showed the general surplus stuff available but not specific to the radio/ electronics that was surplus  back then.

 Anyway there are recreated old gas stations , general stores and so forth out there. I long to gaze again at the piles of  the old gear and parts...and oh that wonderful smell again. And then to find , in my experience here in SF, a somewhat balding , cigar chomping , sometime curmudgeonly proprietor to man the counter.

Tnx
Paul
