Subject: [GreenKeys] Mike Quinn Electronics -- last chance

Hi Folks,

Any of you in the San Francisco Bay Area might want to know that the 
venerable Mike Quinn Electronics in San Leandro, CA (down by the 
Oakland Airport) closed last Saturday with virtually no advance 
notice. Mike Quinn's is (was) one of the very last of the nitty 
gritty electronics salvage shops left, with an emphasis on gritty.

I stopped by today, and mentioned to Maurice, the owner, that a lot 
of people would have liked to have had one last shot at a visit. So, 
he has extented an invitation to y'all to visit next week, Tuesday 
through Friday February 7-10, 2006, during normal business hours, for 
one last shopping spree. Buy some stuff to thank Maurice for keeping 
it going all this time!

There are zillions of connectors and components, heaps of 
transformers and power supplies, scads of cables and keyboards and 
monitors and other PC junk, a jet fighter console or two, a couple of 
early 80's HP desktop computers (the ones with built-in BASIC, can't 
recall the model numbers), lots of relays, and much more, all 
arranged in an archaeologically interesting and un-seismically-safe 
way. If you need it, they have it, and they might even be able to 
find it.

Mike Quinn Electronics 
401 McCormick Street (at the corner of Adams and McCormick)
San Leandro, CA 94577

PS - if you can think of other people or lists who'd be interested
in this, please forward.
