Seems like most of the mfg. is gone from that area of NJ

Allen -

I am very aware of the surplus stores that are mail order and that have
store fronts in various parts of the US (e.g. MECI - Dayton; Fair Radio -
Lima; tons in California).

I visit the Northern NJ area on a regular basis and wondered if any surplus
operation (walk-in) existed since the area I pointed out is next to Fort
Monmouth - which has grown over past 10 years -- and was largely radio and
communications oriented when I toured it in mid-1990s. This area is also
former mfg. location for EAC (division of Hammerlund) that built the R-290A
receiver during the Vietnam war era and several RCA and Bell Labs/Lucent
facilities were scattered from this area to the Easton/Allentown, PA area.

My first though is that any surplus operation has closed - in favor of
tourist ventures associated with "Jersey Shore" -- but I asked.

It's been a very long time since I have been over that way. I use
to go by Ft. Monmouth every day on my way to Monmouth College, now
known as Monmouth University. At the time, which was 1967 - 1970,
there was a great surplus store just a block from the entrance to
Ft. Monmouth. It was kind of off the the right and up a side street,
but it wasn't too hard to find. I bought a fully functional BC-457
for $5 there.

But I digress. Why don't you ask the guys in the Ocean-Monmouth
Amateur Radio Club, which has a web page at "http://www.qsl.net/n2mo".
I'm sure there must be a email address of someone who can answer
your question. If they don't know, then probably no one knows.
