Boy does that bring back memories. I used to practically live at
American Science and Surplus years back when they were in their old
location. I still have hundreds of solid state relays I purchased there
in the the 1980's for $.75 each. They were Crydoms, mostly 10-25 amp
versions.  I still play around with them. Whenever I visit Chicago on
business I stop in and browse.  They ave a great mail order catalog.

I miss these guys. I used to live not too far from their wisconsin
location. Now I'll have to translate this to cruise missile coordinates.
