Electronics store near MakerSpace?

Found this website with some photos of the sidewalk sale when it was under the bridge across from West End. Figured some people who missed out or used to go might be interested in seeing the photos. https://www.mashbus.com/sidewalk.htm

Tanner’s leftovers are in the old 3D Printing Lab. There are 100s of tubs of Tanner’s in the room. Perhaps we should set up some stocking shelves, and put this stuff up for the use of the membership. An in house store benefitting the Electronics Committee is not beyond to question, just sayin.

We had been allocated the space between science and elab and were planning on having the bins located there (and were granted permission to do so) but then logistics reneged on the promise and put the personal storage bins there instead.

As of now we’ve inventoried about 30% of the bins and have a google spreadsheet with bin number, part quantity, category, and description but it’s stalled a bit since COVID and not really being feasible to inventory parts in close proximity and the task being a bit boring to do solo. It’s on my list of things to do once I’m able to come back up to DMS again.

Actually there’s a rather frustrating history on this. Team Logistics didn’t renege on this - Though they weren’t exactly helpful either. A certain BoD member (rofl) put this on indefinite hold. It’s all documented in Expansion minutes and BoD minutes. I should have got a crew together and just got’r done. Just like certain people in the past have done. Lesson learned.

That’s how third hand DMS history goes lol. I’ll just start pointing them at Art, it’s his fault it ain’t done.

And just think - you could have been part of that crew!

This article has a list of 15 surplus outfits that were in Dallas and features Jim Tanner. The only one I can think of not on the list was the old Collins Radio Outlet on Central.

The Death Of Surplus

[jrkriehn]

Hey - only peripherally related, but a friend of mine from college had posted about vending at a tailgate electronics event somewhere. I commented that y’all had been lamenting the demise of outlets of this type just this past week. He shared two events coming up:

• Main Trading Company in Paris is having second weekend tailgate in April and May.

• The Belton Hamfest is on for October.
