You are correct, Bruce. there are not many surplus vehicle or electronics businesses left anywhere that had their start in the era of Second World War surplus. Any big players still out there today are likely dealing with more and more ITARS controlled products, so complete items arrive in the front door and bits and pieces leave out the back. It does not appear to be a logical, or sustainable business model. The available inventory of intact equipment steadily dries up while the spare parts needed to sustain them continues to expand.
I suspect that once the 'Cherry Pickers' are done with Fair Radio, the bulk of their inventory will be sold off to scrappers and their property will be gobbled up by local developers.
