I've been in some odd old junk shops similiar to what you describe. Usually off the beaten path, I don't know how they can pay any bills. I recall an old gas station that had a sign out front that they sold this n that items or whatever, went in & the older women said hello, there were maybe 6 "this n that" items on a table, the rest of the place was shelves of old alternators & water pumps and such. Then there is the local used bookstore, open about 3 days out of the year, you can't get inside because he has too many books. The place I buy most of my stuff from is a ramshackle collection of buildings & storage trailers with lots of lean-to's, most of it has been inaccesible for years because its packed in too tight. Often she will tell me about some radio or tv she picked up since I was in last but we can't find it, too much stuff in front of it. She once had a nice Sylvania console from about 1970 but I've never seen it again, maybe she sold it, maybe its just out of sight?
