Steve,
    I bet there are some ham flea-markets around St. Louis.  There were when I
lived there back in the late 70s.  Trot on down to some of the "ham" stores and
ask around, or look on the bulletin boards that they usually have around them. 
One possible place is the Zenith/Heathkit store.  These things are not usually
advertised too well in the normal publications, but are frequently posted in
the stores that hams frequent.  A place that I used to frequent was a surplus
electronics store on Page just west of Lindbergh Ave.  I forget the name, but
they had an unusual selection of NEW, but surplus parts for rediculous prices. 
Sort of a hardware hackers paradise!!  Better yet, if you know a "ham" ----
ask.  If he don't know, he can sure steer you in the right direction.  Good
luck!  I managed to get to the Dayton, OH "Hamvention" this year for the first
time.  It was the grandaddy of all hamfests, and was an impressive spectacle!! 
I am still paying off all the "good deals" I found!! -Don Spoon
