Ham/electronics stores in LA?
 

I will be in Ontario and Los Angeles, CA area this weekend and will have a
lot of free time. Are there any good electronics/Ham stores in that you
would recommend? Electronic Surplus stores that have radio gear/parts are a
plus as well.

I have an internet connection at my hotel, so any responses anytime this
weekend will be read.

Thanks!

Russ,
There is a SCARS (So Cal Antique Radio Society) swap meet starting at
7AM in a parking lot at 1000 Isobel St. in Burbank if you are
interested. Take the Burbank Blvd offramp to Victory (bottom of the
overpass) . Turn south on Victory, go one block or so to Isobel and
turn rt. The parking lot is on the left side. Enjoy, Mike KF6KXG

The TRW [now Northrop-Grumman Space Technology] is stil around - on
the last Saturday of each month so this will not work for Russ on this
weekend. There are Ham Radio Outlet stores in Burbank and in Anaheim
and Jun's Electronics in Culver City. I only know of one electronic
surplus outlet, ALL Electronics which I recall being in Burbank - been
there once and it wasn't worth a return trip for me, nothing I
couldn't get elsewhere or via online ordering.

I suggest you may have more fun by spending part of the afternoon in
Venice (in between LAX and Santa Monica) and take a walk along the
'boardwalk' (improperly named as it is concrete) and enjoy the
outrageous people. You'll find all sorts of colroful folks hawking
anything from sunglasses to magic beans, perhaps see the chainsaw
juggler and see body art that could make you cringe. It is an
interesting study in sociology and you can enjoy today's clear skies,
warm temperatures, ocean air and thong-clad SoCal beauties.

Is Juns still open? It was on the road that runs N-S just off the east end of
the LAX.. Sepulveda, I think... Was about 2mi N of the airport... west side of
the street.

There was another store was close to, just north of, DL. I remember passing it
heading south off one of the big highways. Was also on the west side of the
street.
