Last night on Mythbusters, the 2 guys went to a surplus store in the SF bay area. I've never seen this store and was wondering if anyone else knows what/ where it is?

The new place is Excess Solutions. There's also Halted Specialties, Alltronics (which may not have a retail location anymore), Mike Quinn's (near Oakland Airport). Hal-Tek has closed.

There probably are still a few more.

Triangle machinery in San Jose is incredible. They had a table covered with ballscrews!

The metal yard looked like Alan Steel and Supply on

101 & Whipple (east) Redwood City, CA 650-369-2526.

The computer outlet looked like Surplus Computer Retail Store located at 1600 Duane Ave, Santa Clara, CA.
