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 
http://www.perfessorevil.com/propboy/axworthy.htm
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
