This place is a treasure trove of surprises. There is a wide array of different items from survival gear to home repair supplies and tools. They have more hardware bolts, nuts, washers than your local Ace or Home Depot and for way cheaper. I highly recommend checking this place out if you get the spare time. The cashier is a man named Danny ask him for a price on something and I guarantee his answer will be a million dollars lol everytime but he is just joking. Really good deals and what I like the most about it is its not ran by a big corporation. Its a family business and thats rare to find these days. So stop in and support them.
This is one of my favorite places to browse for stuff I never knew I needed. I have bought things ranging from electronic parts and tools to a trombone here. Tons of electrical parts, test equipment, hardware, an amazing place. The cat is not for sale.
Amazingly interesting place. Great prices and very cool staff. Ill be headed back there soon.
You need to know your prices, as some items are way overpriced, and pretest passive components BEFORE you buy them. There is everything from electronics, to electrical, to plumbing, to test equipment, to stuff there is only one of on the planet, and the only person who knew what it was is dead, or too crazy to remember what it is. Materials, furniture, military surplus, wire, kitchenware, paints, wood working supplies, tools, if it dont eat, it has been sold here. Stock changes daily, and prices vary, but these are my friends and part of a valley tradition. If you dont like the price, dont buy it. There are plenty of deals to be had, and if it sits long enough.......... Crafting, mechanical, scientific, medical, institutional, camping gear, clothing, carpeting, you never know what this place might have, how long it will last, or what they will have come in for sale the next day. Its the way surplus works.
Cool place to visit and shop for eclectic, surplus, all-around fun and artique-ish collectible items all in one place.
If there is such a thing as too much inventory then this is the place for you because they have too much inventory. Yes it’s like Christmas every day but the only drawback that I can find is trying to find something specific is sometimes quite difficult but is well worth the journey ...well worth the journey.. I’d like to give it 4 1/2 stars
Lots of stuff. Nice selection of old electronics test equipment and parts, big and small, of all sorts. This is a friendly place to shop.
Walked around and found some pretty neat stuff. Was an awesome experience to look through old tubes and find some of the ones we needed for our sound system. Wish I could be there for the whole day and just be a little kid in a candy store! Cant wait to get to go back.
Anything you want can be found there awsome
If you understand, then you understand. Great place.
Ive been going there since I was 10 years old they still have some of the same stuff on the shelves in the back room from them. The girl that works at cash register she was riding a tricycle when I started going there. This place is awesome. If you cant find it somewhere else Electronics chemistry mechanical shrink tubing light fixtures scales all kinds of vintage electrical engineering stuff nuts and bolts and screws small tools big tools selections of knives military clothes and gosh darn a lot more. Prices are fair to. Plan on stay in there while if you do visit its right off the I-17 and between central and 7th Ave in the neighborhoods. You can see it from the freeway
Tons of cool stuff! I can walk around this place for hours and Still feel like I havent seen everything. They also get new stuff every week so I try to come back every week or so. This is an awesome Family Owned Local business with super nice customer service. Tell a Friend.
Simply the greatest store Ive ever been in for old electronics and hardware. If you call yourself a maker and live anywhere in the area you have to go if only for the experience. An incredible selection of every imaginable piece of electronics or hardware. Favorite items I saw today: massive capacitors, piece of a tank tread, old defibrillator, at least a hundred a.c. motors, and a bunch of antique glass tube transistors! The place is a little messy but surprisingly well organised for the amount of stuff there.
Wonderful place with all kinds of stuff that i have found no where but here. Friendly staff and very helpful. I recommend this place to anyone looking for old electronics that may be hard to find.
Great place to find old electronics, motors capacitors, resistors etc. Didnt by anything, looking for an old monitor for my Vic20
They have a lot of really awesome stuff here, and the staff is very friendly. It is quite a treat to come shopping here and geek out over things you might have only read about! Now, if only they didnt try to sell heavily used, aging, as-is stuff for near full prices...
A home away from home for every Phoenix based hacker. Great service and electrical reclamation dating back to world war 2. I love the place, and it has replaced frys electronics for me. I live in Goodyear and still I find a reason to drive 100+ avenues at least once a week to check out what seems like a never ending inventory.
Everything is moving to their new location. Sad to see the old one fading away...
Better than radio shack
Dont go unless you have a couple of hours to look around. You will find everything you never knew you needed. Sometimes you dont even know what it is.
A good place to find oddeties. Way more here than I thought. Dont expect to find many computer things made past the 90s but lots of electronics.
I have been going here on and off for 37 years. I have saved thousands of dollars on all sorts of surplus electronic and mechanical equipment. They are nice people and have a huge inventory. You can build anything from the items on their shelves. Not many of these places left! You can save a lot of money here. I recommend this place for your DIY projects. There are things there that are worth thousands of dollars that you can buy for a few bucks.You can find anything from single components to complete units of electronic or mechanical instrumentation.Danny worked with me to arrive at a fair deal on a cabinet I needed to finish a brute force power supply project I am building for anodizing aluminum in my garage shop.It is sad that not many people build anything these days and everything they own is bought from China and made with substandard components that will fail. I recently bought a power supply from China that did not live up to the specifications and proved useless for my anodizing needs.The stuff you will find here is typically very expensive surplus equipment garnered from the Phoenix area aerospace industry giants such as Honeywell, Hughes Aircraft, Sperry, Intel, Motorola, ad infinitum made with high dollar components.It will be a sad day when these types of places disappear. Not only can you save money but you will be doing your part to recycle perfectly good pieces of equipment that will not go into a dump or landfill.There is an acre of shelves to rummage through. Be prepared to spend time there. This is a treasure chest of great diamonds in the rough. This place is the gift that keeps on giving.
Spent all day there and I still didnt get to see it all! There is so much to see, make sure you schedule accordingly.
If they dont have it you probably dont need it. Great place to find the hard to find project parts. Pack a lunch and plan to stay all day.
They have tons of everything electronic. If you are a fix it kind of person and need parts I would start here. The people who work their are pretty knowledgeable but sometimes hard to track down
My favorite post-apocalyptic supply store. Enough pieces and parts to rebuild SkyNet. Fun place!
They have the oddest things
A unique place where you can find nearly anything!
The best place in Arizona if you are a maker they got everything and i mean everything pack a lunch and spend the day shopping
Only way to fully appreciate this great outlet is to visit in person. Do yourself a favor & check it out!
Coolest place, you can geek out for hours.
Good people there, lot of stuff to kick start your imagination on your projects
Good place for all sorts of electronic parts.
Love this place. Always end up spending hours there and plan to be only a minute!!

Bought a few items for future projects.
OK, heres the deal. If you like electronics, engineering, precision parts, spare parts, gears, springs, gauges, test equipment, and every single thing in-between and to every extreme, this is your place. You could build ANYTHING with the parts in this place. As a hardware and software hacker I walked in and was in paradise. To make things even better, the staff was extremely nice to us. If I could sleep there I would. Its that cool. 73 de KE7VZW
