Yes, most of the surplus electronic places are great places to look for 
abandoned projects, parts, etc.. Unfortunately Ham-nuts seem to be a greying 
group. Students would be surprized to learn about ham radio connections, 
packet radio, radio BBS systems, etc. I hope to raise enough money to 
purchase a kit and set my class up for packet communications. We will just 
have to see though.
Thanks again, I should have included these resources also.
