Oh I am crushed. Steve had, and understood some of the most creative things about connecting electronics. I have cables in my home and production studio that I simply could not find in town anywhere, especially after Radio shack went away. Above all was a computer maintenance dream as well. *sniff!* Kare On Sat, 14 Dec 2019, Stewart C. Russell via talk wrote:
Losing Active Surplus a few years back was bad, but this one seems worse: long-established electronic surplus/weird stuff/junk store Above All Electronic Surplus (635 Bloor W, at Euclid) is closed. I went by today and the windows were papered over and a For Lease sign was on the front. Steve, the owner, was inside tidying up, but the door was locked. Above All was where I went for the off-the-wall retro stuff I knew no-one else would carry. Appletalk cables? Bulk PC reset buttons (some still marked Turbo XT)? SCSI interfaces? Mac Classic RAM? These are all things I found at Above All.
Above All has moved before. Let's hope this is the case again.
cheers,
