All Charged Up

I got all charged up on electronics at the MIT flea market Sunday afternoon. Raw and cold as it was in the garage on Portland Street, I was on fire. There I found capacitors, both electrolytic and tantalum, offered at bargain prices; spools of RG-8X cable like you read about; plus a complete Nazi Enigma machine with a full bore documentary explaining its mysteries. Gals, if you like 'em nerdly and you don't mind the $5 admission ticket (the price of a boilermaker), this is the place to be.

Do they serve refreshments?

Prof. Turing,
A life-giving hamburger may be roundly enjoyed around the corner at Miracle of Science. And we do need our strength for a swap fest, non c'e?
