Gary, I live in Tucson, and I've been buying stuff from Elliott Electronic Supply for almost 50 years. And they are still there in the same place!

It's kind of amazing to me also but a welcome resource that I want to keep around, so if any of you need something they are on-line and will ship it out to you. When I went in there yesterday I saw 5 guys working behind the counter -- that they have that much business to employ so many people is doubly amazing. Much of the stock now is the usual Chinese products you can buy on eBay or Amazon, but the convenience of it being 20 minutes away is worth using them for me.

And next door they have Elliott Surplus which seems to be a rotating hamfest of consignment items, it's always different each visit. Quite a few boatanchor receivers in stock, as if I needed any more projects. Last month they had an RME-70 and now a National NC-2-40D, among many others. It's worth a visit if you're ever passing through on I-10.
