[R-390] Surplus location

[Dennis Deaton]

Bill,

I believe that you are referring to Apex Surplus out on San Fernando Mission
Blvd.  It's still there and very much alive.

Slightly OT, but does anyone recall a big surplus place in the San Fernando
Valley? My R390a came from there about 20 years ago. I guess they had them
stacked to the ceiling. The work scene was not so good then and I was
working for a place as their CB technician (I know, I know). A guy I knew
serviced forklifts and I think he traded some work for a couple radios. I
got mine for repairing and tuning up his CB. (I did have enough pride to not
pull the modulation limiter unless a customer was quite insistent.) Another
buddy got an R390. The BFO didn't work on mine, it was at best a very high
freq beat. I opened the bfo pto and the slug had come off the shaft. One
rear corner of the chassis was bent, looked like the radio got dropped. A
little super glue fixed it right up.

Does anyone remember this place and are they still in business?
