I used to buy heaps of old crap (sorry, cool electro and radio stuff) from a place in Bulli called Cavion's. They had piles of surplus electrical and electronic gear from the army, air force, power company, PMG...... I bought a 200kW magnetron (9.6-11.0GHz) which I still have. My genitals are thankfull I haven't found a PSU big enough to drive the filament! They even used to have old computers, such as Dec PDP-8's, and tons of WWII aircraft gauges.
I think Cavions is still there, but I don't think they have the radio shed any more, since old Mr Cavion left (died?) a decade or so ago.

Cheers,
Jason.
