A question to all you tinkerers and Weirdness Electronics buffs out there:

What are the best suppliers of surplus parts, junk devices, mystery
components and all-around weird stuff?

I'm sure you know the kinds of places I mean, like the place selling
the guts out of old fax machines ("We have no specs or schematics, but
these look very interesting...") or the place selling items ranging
from a working shielded x-ray cabinet, complete with film and film
processor for $13.9K, to old prism assemblies out of US Military tanks
for $9.50 ("Buy two and make a periscope!") And of course Edmund
Scientific is a classic in my book - Complete Home Holography Kit! Zero
Vibration Table Not Included..

I'm in the US, so I might not order much from the supply houses across
the ponds, but nonetheless, let's hear about them as well.
