I spent much of my allowance there as well. Came home one day with 2 helmets, 2 bayonets and 2 grenades. No one freaked out when they saw us playing.
I remember the $5 Lee-Enfields still in the cosmoline.
For radio parts there was R&P Electronics and Satellite Electronics and once in a while a trip to Boeing Surplus in Seattle.
Anyone in Winterpeg remember Sabre Industries?
