Boy, the word "surplus" brings back memories. When I was growing up
in Detroit ('50's-'60's) there was a huge store in town called "Gell's
Civilian PX". Anything - and I mean *anything* - ever made for or used
by the military could be found there for amazing prices. More than one
buddy of mine had a SW receiver that was military surplus - heavy, dark,
muscular-looking cabinets with huge dials. Then, almost overnight it
seems, the "Military Surplus Store" was a thing of the past, for the
most part. There is one near me right now. Canteen covers and
post-Desert Storm polyester field jackets is about the extent of the
true "military surplus" they have.
