I can't find any Goodwill clearance centers around this part of CA. It looks like LA is the place to be for that. I did wonder what happened to all the stuff that never sells. I always see a lot of interesting items being donated, but none of it ever makes to to the stores I visit.
The best place I know of in my area is Urban Ore in Berkeley. It's got a lot of vintage electronics. I bought two stereo table radios from the 60's (one tube, the other solid state), an RCA video disc player, and some other misc things. They've got a lot of old camera equipment, including some early home video cameras (which I couldn't think of a reason to buy). There was also a very plain metal 50's RCA 21" B/W TV, but $100 was more than it was worth to me. Most of the prices are pretty good though. They even had a bare 17" 50's B/W CRT just sitting on the shelf for anyone to implode. I'd go there more often, but driving from San Mateo to Berkeley and back is a stressful all day thing because of traffic.
