Fwd'ing question for a friend:
"Where are the 'builder' stores around here (anywhere in RTP area,
Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, etc.)...
folks that have old/broken electronics surplus, electric motors, salvaged
industrial equipment, wiper motors, gears, etc. ? I'm thinking about
putting together an automated halloween project or two

Here is an amazing list

I'm not looking for specific parts yet, just some places to go poke around
in!"
My suggestions are:
Scrap Exchange, Durham
http://www.scrapexchange.org/
2 blocks from Piedmont restaurant, opposite direction from Carolina
Theatre
NC State Surplus, Raleigh
http://www.doa.state.nc.us/ssp/
On Hwy 54 just across from/west of Trinity Rd
NCSU surplus facility, Raleigh
http://www7.acs.ncsu.edu/materialsmgmt/MaterialsSupport/surplus/sale_guide.asp
in the Agricultural research area of the NCSU campus
Anyone with other, better ideas of where to go?
(Forwarded the question partly to share the halloween links, partly
because I'd like to know where to go for such items that I don't already
know about.)
thanks,
Steve B
