Looks like Watto's Junkyard from Star Wars Episode 1.... What a cool place... We have a scrap yard very similar to that, locally to me here in the UK.... They have a lot of ex-Navy scrap in there. So they often have missiles and rockets as well. Lots of military computer junk and helicopter blades and things. But they mostly deal in scrap metal so don't have that sort of quantity of the cool stuff. I did find a Jet Engine Starter APU in there once, which is basically a small jet engine itself. So cool.

Looks like heaven :) But tell me, do they make you sign a waiver before you start digging? Looks like an injury lawsuit waiting to happen! Somebody really should offer to eBay his stuff for him for a cut of the action. Looks like everyone would win on a deal like that. RandyT |

...Where, exactly, is that again?! I live out by Lockheed Skunkworks, here in the AV, Quartz Hill. I didn't realize we had anything like that out here. Makes sense though, since aerospace is so huge here. If I could find a local supplier of pneumatic pistons, it would be a great help (for a project unrelated to arcade machines). |

It crossed my mind, as I was walking through the tight corridors piled high with tons of sharp metal that I would be in trouble if there was an earthquake. Especially when I was climbing up a ladder I made out of a pile of batteries to search for the switches. |
