He used to operate out of is house on River Rd., but he’s moved, I think to Guelph. His website is a bit of a mess, but email him, he’s got so much stuff, he’s exactly like how KW Surplus used to be in its heyday: <a href="https://eq-trm.com" class="">https://eq-trm.com</a>. LOTS of mechanical, pneumatic stuff too, generally for automation. You won’t find Arduino-esque stuff there, but damn near anything else you might want.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div></div>-A.<div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
