I remember strolling through there and seeing all the weird hardware childhood me drooled over. Adult me did not walk out with a Snappy video capture thingy or a Jaz drive.
I walked through the store on their last day and was amazed at just how much unalloyed junk they had on the shelves - boxes of unidentified circuit boards with bent connectors and components broken off, shelves of empty binders, etc. Lots of neat, weird old stuff, but a lot of things which no one would ever buy.
Yeah, Haltek was great. A friend had a knack for finding valuable stuff — would go into Haltek and come out with a dozen of some obscure digital numerical display from the mid 70's or whatever.
