I'd reccommend Halted Specialities Co. (HSC).  They are located at the
corner of Central Expressway and Lawrence Expressway (you know, if it has more
than two lanes, we call dem expressways). Approach on southbound central, cross
over lawrence and immediately turn right. Approach on eastbound lawrence, and
turn right immediately before crossing under central.

Halted has quite a variety of *interesing* surplus -not too much of which is
junk.  There are an occasional zinger or two... I'm not sure if they still have
them, but a while ago, they were selling the IR tracking heads off of AIM-9B
sidewinders (mid 50's technology, but...).  Those could be interesting - if only
as a hi-tech paperweight!

There is another company, Haltek; I believe they folded and were recently
reborn - they may be in the same location as before - which I forget.  Anyone
out there help me (and Phil) out?  

>>	You know the technowhizze neato type places.
