it's hard to watch a narcissist this long talk in hushed tones about how great what he's doing is, how great everything he works on is. i wonder if he's this insufferable in private with his partners and other people or if it's worse

oh so it's all one long commercial

Is it still open?

That military plane photograph box u2 spy plane parts

I love APEX but they are only open weekdays, and they seem to discourage just browsing. I like to look before I make my purchase.

Great video. I had access to a few of those locations as an employee. Plano Illinois was a great one, and Norway Illinois. Got some great artifacts, fallout door sign, and a few other things. Norway was a huge building that had hundreds of workers at one time. It's a literal.museum of cold war tech. Complete with a huge wall showing all the tower locations and status. Looked like NORAD. Sadley, it's a toxic nightmare of leaking fluids and compounds. Plano goes 5 stories inder ground in case chicago got nuked.all those locations have just one person left and will never be dismantled because ATT won't pay for it. They also had a coax backup as well as transmitted TV from coast to coast.

Skycrafters, Orlando Florida, but a smaller scale.

I spent 45 years in the radio and microwave business in Southern California. I've been to Turquoise dozens of times over the years, including inside the old AT&T building. Not only was it part of the Autovon network, it was also a critical site for the major television networks. There were three floors in that building. One floor was batteries and power equipment, one was switching equipment, and the top floor was row after row of radios. TD-2 4 GHz, AR-6 6 GHz radios, DR-11 11 GHz radios... Just tons of the stuff. There was also a huge nationwide network map on the wall that showed how the network television was brought in from NY, Wash DC, LA, and various other major cities. Thia was a fun well done video, I quite enjoyed it.

This really cool I grew up near one never new honestly

Omaha has excellen 1:30 t communication because of the long lines, etc., put in because of HQ Strategic Air Command during the Cold War.

Let’s not forget about the still- open Midwest Surplus Electronics on Main Street in Fairborn Ohio!

3:09 by the interference noise it sounds active

Insane i have a never opened (until I can to the realization that I can no longer say that 😅) NM-67B (listed it for sale on ebay but no pics of the imaculate inerds) cost a woping 44k back in 1977-79 is in great condition

Super cool

really enjoyed this

Electronic Parts Outlet is in Houston, Texas and is an incredible place, still open and doing great. It may be one of the last still standing. There is a video on UA-cam about them, it is fun to watch.

Electronics Parts Outlet in Houston has issue with this video title.

This is so cool especially when he said as a kid he would look for them it’s awesome!! Reminded me of my young self to We had one in Northern Kentucky but they took it down in early 2000’s I guess I was about 10 when I first seen it.1984 I seen it out of the corner of my eye when mom was taking us to school. I thought it was a helicopter at first being that young. You didn’t know what the heck it was but then every day for a week Id look in the same spot for it and seen it every day since, love your videos these towers are very interesting

Last? Hardly. We've got a few here in San Antonio, the best of which is Intertex Electronics. It's like walking into an old school Radio Shack like when I was growing up. Aisles of individual components. It's an electronics hobbyist's wet dream.

i always wondered about these. I remember using a bulky car phone. i wondered how those worked back then.

I have seen a few of these installations, but the one that stands out the most to me is the site in downtown Los Angeles, where there is a high mid-century modern concrete tower with many horns in two or three levels of tower. Before I learned what these antennas actually were, I thought they were still in service today (the ones still intact). I worked for the US Navy at a base in Port Hueneme CA. We had Autovon phone lines in addition to commercial lines. Each employee had both an Autovon number and commercial number. The Autovon system was later called DSN (Defense Switched Network). We could only use a DSN line when talking to other military installations.

That is so funny we had a place in Adelaide South Australia 40 Years ago called Graham Electronics with much the same things that I see here but very, very much smaller.

There's more still around

1:26 Fruit of the Loom logo has no longer ever had a cornucopia. Mandela Effect.

I remember the 70's & 80's AM/FM Stereo Receivers like Harmon Kardon, JVC, Kenwood, Marantz, Nippon, Pioneer, Realistic, Sansui, Technics, & other brands that I mifht have left out!

Bring back good ANALOG Stereo & Electronics Stores!

No one talks about the frequencies that were used with these huge horn antennas. Based on size, waveguide and technology at the time 2 GHz, 6 GHz?

So glad I found this video. I really love the horn antennas something about how ominous they look and reminds me when I was a kid always on the hunt for these things.

There is one of these long line towers here in San Jose, Ca. on Communication Hill. Always see it off the freeway & was fascinated by the way it looks. Great video !!

high chair for a giant baby. ya okay.

He's not wrong in saying that switches used to take up whole buildings and now they can basically fit in a closet.

We have one of those on Asnebumskit Hill in Paxton Mass.

2:07 did Rick really just call the person who might have formerly owned that Meter a Choda? WTF Rick! do you even know what that means?

This is incredible, what would good to see is if people that know how all these units work would be documented and explain what they do as well as the details of its design and mechanincs. It could be archived for history on youtube

I would love to see inside it

This is so cool to see! when these were operational were the repeaters manned? I am curious if they still work? Also how close is the nearest town to this particular one?

PSM-4 is the multimeter I used in 1966-67 on the USS McKean. we had ONE for the ET shop. we treated it with care.

And here we are back in a cold war. Thanks Brandon & pals

Radio shack in north windham maine. Still open.

"last" electronics store. Desperate for views much ?

i wonder how much this would cost to buy

What a wonderful place. I wish there was a few of these stores in the UK where I live.

I have every one of those locks! Lol😂 like every one!

This is so cool! More videos pls

it was in most western countries incl south africa at the time

not the last one theres plenty more electronic stores like this in Texas

New Jersey has Wayne electronics

Where exactly is this place and what is it called? I would absolutely Love to go to this store, because I'm an electronics nerd and I would be in heaven here! We actually used to have a store similar to this in my city up to about 20 years ago when it went totally out of business, because this last generation just doesn't fix or work on or build anything electronic anymore, and as all of the older repair techs and ham radio guys die off, now no-one is interested in buying these kinds of component level parts anymore, so the store like this in my city didn't have enough sales on a regular basis to pay their building rent fees amd so they had to shut down! That was a VERY sad time for me because that store was always one of my regular go-tos for vintage electronic parts of ALL types!... Nowadays you never can tell if you're even getting a genuine original quality part if you order stuff online, and a LOT of this kind of stuff isn't even available online at all because they don't make it new anymore, so this type of store is a LITERAL goldmine for electronics hobbyists and repair techs, if there's anyone out there who's actually still into building and repairing vintage electronic stuff! I REALLY miss the store we had like this in my city, and nowadays there isn't really any place local for me to buy this sort of stuff anymore, which REALLY sucks for me because I'm still interested in all things vintage electronics, including stereo equipment gear, but you just hardly ever even see it anywhere anymore! :( So please do tell where this store is AND what it's called, so some of us who are still actually into vintage electronics can maybe travel there and see and shop at this truly beautiful, and greatly organized (for used and vintage surplus stuff anyway), store! This place is a real treasure, and you're VERY lucky to have such a place in your own city!! (Where is that?)

In north New Jersey we had nidisco
