Continued from Surplus Summit Part One: Los Angeles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After visiting Los Angeles for the weekend, I spent the next couple days in San Diego. I had a chance to visit some old San Diego landmarks as well as one newcomer to the surplus electronics scene.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Surplus Depot<\/a>, San Diego, CA<\/h4>\n

Surplus Depot used to be located around the corner from their present location, back when they were called Industrial Liquidators. The store has shrunk a bit but still has some good deals and interesting parts.

SD Electronic Supply<\/a>, San Diego, CA<\/h4>\n

SD Electronic Supply opened last year(?) and recently moved to a new location just down the street from where Gateway Electronics used to be. I think a lot of the inventory is from the old Gateway store. The owner is friendly and there are a LOT of components available.<\/p>\n

Update Nov. 2015: SD Electronics sadly closed this year.<\/p>\n

California Electronic and Industrial Supply<\/a>, El Cajon, CA<\/h4>\n

California Electronic Supply has been around for years and is still selling components and surplus stuff. I usually stop by on the way to Murphy’s, below.<\/p>\n

Update Nov. 2015: California Electronic Supply is now CLOSED.<\/p>\n

Murphy’s Surplus Warehouse<\/a>, El Cajon, CA<\/h4>\n

Murphy’s has also been an El Cajon landmark for many years. They specialize in surplus military radios but have piles of test equipment, motors, switches, and other stuff. I came here at least once a month when I lived in San Diego.

Fun fact:<\/strong> Jerry Mouser of Mouser Electronics<\/a> started Mouser while he was teaching high school physics<\/a> in El Cajon! Apparently Murphy was one of his students.<\/p>\n

As I mentioned in my last post, these and many more surplus electronics stores are listed on the Surplus Electronics<\/a> wiki page. If you know of a surplus store in your area, please add it to the list and let’s help keep electronics surplus alive!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
