[NLRS] ABC Electronics - kaput

[Chris Elmquist]

End of an era I guess Donn.  Hunh.  They probably couldn't resist selling
the property to a developer in what has now become the high buck "North
Loop" area.

I was watching a few items on eBay that are from ABC Electronics and
those are still active it looks like,

http://stores.ebay.com/ABC-ELECTRONICS-2

but per tradition, the prices on test equipment or similar are, umm, kind of
high.

I wonder if they bailed on the store but are keeping an eBay presence?
