Kurt, That would be APEX ELECTRONICS - Sun Valley, California. Google it.  Supplying props for the movies seems to be a big part of their business.  The last time I went there, many years ago, a lot of good surplus electronic stuff was outside in their yard deteriorating in the weather.  Inside several rows of storage racks had fallen over in a past earthquake and were just left there with apparently no attempt to right them and clean up the mess although there were several clerks standing around doing nothing.  Prices on stuff I was interested in were out of the question, so I left and haven't been back since.  Mike, W6MAB
