There used to be tons of electronic surplus stores in Silicon Valley. There was even one on Market Street in San Francisco. Real estate prices and ebay have driven most of them out of business, and decimated the Foothill Electronic Flea Market too.

Oy! He would've been more useful if he cut back on the 'crazy!'. He might have toured it first ahead of shooting, and worked out a script outline...
But takes me back to childhood visits to Electronic Surplus in Cleveland OH. That place has similar history. Thanks for the link.

Places like that vanished decades ago here. They're not even legal now. Real shame.

A fire is not likely, really, but an earthquake would bring down those shelves and all that heavy gear on people's heads.
