Message-ID: <12985@cbnews.ATT.COM> Date: 10 Jan 90 03:29:07 GMT Sender: military@cbnews.ATT.COM Lines: 13 Approved: military@att.att.com From: About an hour ago, I was over at Halted Specialties in Sunnyvale (Silicon Valley's premier electronics junk shop). I was surprised to see the IR detector assembly, including the quartz hemisphere, from the seeker head of an AIM-9B Sidewinder missile. They want $180 for it. I offered to trade 1000 gold-plated edge connectors, but they refused. Darn, if only it weren't so expensive, I'd buy it. It's beautiful. You can call them at (408) 732-1573.
