Eli Heffron and Sons
East Cambridge, Mass.
(May still be in business.  Affectionately known as "Evil Eli's")

Eli, may he rest in peace, used to pick up a basket of your selected junk,
heft it a bit and quote a price.  A little haggling was then permitted.
For a visual image, think of Popeye from the movie, only with a little
more scruff.  If it hadn't been for Eli, I'd know very little about
electronics!
