[vcf-midatlantic] Yet another electronics surplus company is going out of business:

[Jeff Galinat]

I have bought quite a few items from them over the years. I hit the retail
store in Van Nuys when my wife had a conference in San Diego. I got a bunch
of S-100 edge connectors for $1.75 each.  I also hit C & H surplus in
Duarte, CA on the same trip and bought a bunch of stuff but they also
closed their storefront. The still have an eBay store though.

 I also hit Apex Electronics in Sun Valley, CA which  is still open.  I
bought a bunch of IMSAI style front panel switches (removable black paddle)
and a box of S-100 prototyping boards. So if you are in the LA area and
love treasure hunting through racks of boxes up to the ceiling and a big
tech junkyard in back, Apex is the place to go and it’s still open for
business.
