  Thank you for creating this fine video; I wish I would’ve had the opportunity to visit the store, looks amazing; I did place some online orders from them recently, they are wonderful to work with.

  Thanks for the video. Would be great if someone bought it and kept it open. Imagine being a young kid getting into amateur radio and spending hours exploring that place.

  Never been there and I'm no youngster but I could still spend countless hours in there. Sad it's going away.

  This place was the source of so many transmitters parts and other bits that put so many pirates on the air back in the days before EBay ! Getting tubes was always hard but these people had them all ! The legendary Allen Wiener mentioned them many times in his biography.

  I was always fascinated by their printed catalogs back in the 70/80:s...But the oldtime ham equipment, DIY & very few, very big (surplus) parts, which did a lot, i can imagine not many is into that anymore... But certainly you can still find projects in old ARRL handbooks & such... (I remember you could even order surplus Tommy guns... But not from Sweden... DEFENITELY not from Sweden...)

  Their are several surplus places in Portland area. The on he is talking about is wacky Willie's surplus. Then we had R5D3, Cascade electronics, surplus gizmo's.

  My first scope came from Fair Radio Sales, as did the huge stepper motors driving my Bridgeport. Two more great places are Glenn's Surplus in Shelby OH, and JDM surplus in Crestline OH. JDM used to be called CTR.

  IT SHAKES ME THINKING OF WHAT WILL BE THROWN IN THE DUMPSTER. ALL THESE BOAT ANCHORS ARE TOO COSTLY TO SHIP AND FEW WILL BUY THEM FOR THAT REASON. MAYBE A BIG SURPLUS SELLER WILL SEND IN A SEMI TRAILER OR TWO AND RESCUE THIS STUFF. THERE WAS A COMPANY IN MIAMI NAMED MICROWAVE EQUIPMENT COMPANY THAT WAS ABOUT 5 TIMES LARGER THAN FAIR RADIO AND STACKED FLOOR TO CEILING WITH EVERYTHING FROM RADAR SETS TO SMALL PARTS. WHEN THEY CLOSED UP IT WAS A SAD DAY.

  I hope you found your way to the infield of the harness racing track over by the grandstands. If not, you missed the majority of the flea market.

  They had a good run. Unfortunately the generation of the surplus radios is thinning out and not much market for the stuff any more. Hate to see it go .. I hated to lose Heath and Radio Shack and Lafayette and Allied .. Thanks for the tour .. hope the owners enjoy a long and healthy retirement once everything is sold off.

  I had ordered a few items from them in my high school days back in the 70s. It’s a shame to see it go. I never knew how large that facility is! IMHO, I think that they should make some arrangement with museums or the Smithsonian to preserve at least some of it for posterity.

  There is no younger people any where insight. Most are my age or older. What happens when all these people are pass away. Most of the old equipment will end up in landfills which should have been long ago. May be one or two will end up in storage spaces like my collection (I have spent 20,000 for storage alone since the 1990s) for items that are worth $2000. I am 65 years old from Canada and have attended this fest and the Fair Radio Sales in the 90s. Only item I am interested now are the urine bottles at 30:25. Thanks for this gentleman for this and the Fair radio sales videos.
