I grew up in toronto when active surplus was still kickin’ and you could browse for hours, just soaking it all in and getting inspired.
I have a few projects in mind. Mostly things I want to do with electromechanical controls for around the house and I’d love to find a place in eastern ontario that is similar. I know for mechanical components some of the flea markets are a good place to go, but what about electronics? Does such a magical place exist???
I know about pi shop which has some of the things I am looking for but I’d love a brick and mortar junk shop to wander.
Posting in Ottawa because it seems like the best bet, but I’m not specifically looking for Ottawa. Anywhere 613 would be great.
Not a junk shop, but if you’re looking for electronic components, Accessotronik (aka Gervais Electronics) has quite a bit of individual components.
I also wish I knew of a junk shop in Ottawa. We had a huge one when I lived in Phoenix and it was great wandering around there and finding stuff.
This is helpful, thank you!
