[Pnews won't let me limit the distribution any.. sorry. -wsr]

Does anyone know of any surplus electronic places in the DC area (a la
Eli Hefron's in Cambridge Ma)?  You know, the kind that carries
surplus, overruns, and old junk.

Nuts.  Someone help me with the name.  There's one in College Park,
a few km north of UMd., that deals more in small parts (I found
out just yestiddy that Eli's doesn't stock chips, which leaves
Radio Shyster, who's out of LM311's, so I'm in the comparator-building
business for a few days...) than in remaindered equipment.

Is Sasco in Alexandria still in business?  (Gosh, it's been a long
time :-)  They sure used to have a lot of "old junk".

You're thinking of Surpls Elecrnics, so called because of the
missing letters on their sign...  They changed their name a
few years ago... don't remember what they changed it to...
everyone still just calls it Surpls Elecrnics...
