There's a big one every Sunday (10am-2pm) in the basement of 
the multi-story car park opposite the St James Centre at the top
of Leith Walk (I forget what the particular hundred-yard strip of
road is called, but it's between the roundabout with London Road
and the junction with Princes Street). 

Highly recommended -- it's huge, and if you poke around for long
enough you will find Good Things. (I managed to get a decent budget 
hi-fi turntable for five quid there a while ago  -- a Dual CS505 mk2.)
