   How about space junk? A friend took me to several surplus stores
in southern California, and we found a number of goodies including:
	A Gemini reaction control system valve assembly (cost me $70),
console lights from an Apollo capsule, an actuator from a space shuttle,
a surplus airforce satellite (unused, of course!).
	He has collected, over the years from these sources, a Viking
orbiter (really - I've seen the thing), and Apollo capsule and almost
all of the avionics, and a number of miscellaneous rocket engines,
guidance systems, radios, etc. This stuff, however, didn't all come
cheap.
	I don't know the names of the stores, but if you look around
Van Nuys or Pasadena, you might find one of them. Figuring out what
is what in the stores, however, is quite an art.
