One of the thousands of piles of stuff

The Black Hole sells surplus equipment acquired from the Los Alamos National Laboratories. They sell everything from 1950's era oscilloscopes to liquid nitrogen dewars, from dials, knobs & calculators to A-bomb detonator cables. It is a museum of nuclear research where everything is for sale.

Is it still open? I'm going to be out right next to there in a couple days.

Ed was a great man and I'm glad I got to visit the place while he was still with us. There is some talk and apparently some action among locals and friends trying to figure out what to do with the place. Ed was running it as a museum (I don't think he had sold anything in years) and it would be fascinating (and almost impossibly hard) to keep it that way.
