[R-390] Update on visit to SkyCraft Surplus and Parts - Orlando

[Tom Bridgers]

SkyCraft Surplus is a must-visit destination if you're going to be in Orlando.  Over 3 separate visits, totaling about 4 hours, early this month I had a great time ... and still didn't see everything they had in inventory.
 
Most of their prices are terrific.  I purchased a lot of screws, nuts, solder lugs, solder posts in quantities of a hundred to get the 30% discount.  I found some aluminum L-brackets for 15 cents each that are going to be perfect for bread-board construction projects.  Transformers of all flavors are on the shelves and the isolation xfmrs and 6.3 vac, 3 amp xfmrs were priced right and so I purchased several of each.
 
Switch hardware, which is either expensive or not available locally in Greensboro, is available at SkyCraft at attractive prices and so I purchased the associated washers, nuts, and internal lock washers -- all at very attractive prices.
 
I found some thin 6" by 3/8" brass strips that I'll use in some projects in the works.
 
Not surprisingly, the box of R-390 mini connectors that I'd seen in previous visits was empty of those flavors this year, but had beaucoup of other types in the box.
 
Their website has photo's of the inside of their store -- go to the about us tab, and down toward the bottom of that page there is a store photo's tab.  See:
