The swap meets and junk shops I know about in the Silicon Valley area. Most of the classic walk-in surplus stores are gone; the swap meets and a few online stores carry on.

The big one. Run by ASVARO; proceeds support local ham radio groups. Formerly at De Anza College, then Fry’s Sunnyvale.
Hosted with the Livermore Amateur Radio Klub (LARK), whose monthly East Bay swap meet was canceled.
Not an electronics swap meet, but there is always something interesting for the sharp-eyed shopper.
One of the last walk-in parts stores in the valley, in Santa Clara just off Highway 101. Mon–Fri 7:30 AM–4 PM.
The retail store closed long ago; still alive and well online and on eBay.
The San Jose store, which took over much of Halted’s stock, closed in July 2022. Still sells online and on eBay.
Gone, but not forgotten.
