        Sure. Check http://www.arrl.org/hamfests.html for hamfests in your
area. They happen all over the country (heck, all over the world) at
various times during the year, and the swap meet portion of any hamfest
bears (usually) a 95% or higher focus on electronics in terms of test
gear, radios, computers, etc.

        If you've never been to such an event in your life, I would
(SHAMELESS PLUG ALERT) take a look at an article I wrote on my own page
at this link: http://www.bluefeathertech.com/technoid/Scrounger.html

        This is a guide to scrounging at both surplus places and swap
meets. I hope you find it helpful.

Happy hunting.
