That kinda reminds me of the old Lafayette store in Portland Oregon . We
used to go there when i was to young to know much about the stuff .
My brother would buy parts . I remember real long rows of counters with
shelves full behind them and neet stuff in the glass counters .

We still have a thriving small parts house here with resistors ,
capacitors , tons of NTE , pots , soldering iron tips , test leads ,
bulbs , wire and all the goodys .
I almost feel wrong going in there thinking it cant be true or i will
wake up with empty hands .
