And this, which I'd seen only in photos: it's a tape-based flight data recorder (aka "black box") from some type of aircraft, possibly military. This one had its case open to show the interior, but they had a whole box of unopened, nearly-pristine units.

I'd love to know what's on the tapes…

Apex seems to discourage taking photos inside the warehouse and I (mostly) respected that, so you'll have to use your imagination as to the general feel of the place. But some items I'd literally never seen.

Case in point: this 200,000A Buss cartridge fuse, just in case you have an aluminum smelter or something that needs a new one. (I almost bought this just as a desk ornament but restrained myself.)

There aren't any prices on anything; it's seemingly sort of negotiable.

After my visit to All Electronics soon-to-be-closed storefront, at the advice of another customer I met there, I went up the road to Apex Surplus in Sun Valley.

And holy crap, is *that* a cool place. It's apparently the go-to store if you're a Hollywood props or set designer, in addition to DIYers.

I could have easily spent days just wandering around in there. (As it was, I got kicked out when they closed at 4PM and I'd only gotten to about 25% of it.)

L'#Eurozona ha registrato un #surplus #commerciale di 23 miliardi di euro nel giugno 2023, rispetto a un #deficit di 27,1 miliardi di euro nello stesso mese di un anno fa e superando le aspettative del mercato di 18,3 miliardi di euro. Le #importazioni sono scese del 17,7% su base annua a 229,3 miliardi di euro, principalmente a causa dei minori acquisti di materie prime (-30,3%); materie prime (-29,4%); combustibili minerali, lubrificanti (-47,5%); manufatti (-8,3%) e manufatti vari (-7,2%).

An old project I have not touched since I marked it.
So it was passed on to others.

I do have some grabber clip cables for it.

Nokia-Mobira HC17.
One of the worst,(or at least with the worst battery life) synthetized handheld radios ever made.
It is:
Heavy.
Has bad battery life.
Bad keyboard.
DE9 accessory connector is hard to use.
Display is small, recessed and consumes large amounts of current due to ancient LED's.
It is controlled by a full fat DIP CPD1802, contributing to the bad battery life.

There is a 2m hamband firmware image for it on Moppe Akatemia.
