I grew up in MPLS and really enjoyed some trips to the north side where Honeywell had a surplus store. It was where they took in all the older computer hardware and striped it down to each and every component and nut and screw. A real tech shoppers paradise for any part imaginable. Unlike the old Control Data company that would destroy every part before sending it to scrap. I was in tears watching them destroy large 2000 watt variacs and transformers before sending it out the door as total trash.
