Yeah, it closed several years ago. I think HSC is still alive, but changed its name.

HSC is gone too, sadly. The last surplus store standing in the Bay Area (I think - at least in the South Bay and Peninsula) is Excess Solutions in San Jose (http://www.excesssolutions.com/)

Yes, you’re correct.

If you’re just looking for electronics parts, Anchor Electronics in Santa Clara is still alive and (hopefully!) well: https://anchor-electronics.com/

Visited Anchor a few months ago, during the pandemic. They seemed to be doing fine, knock on wood. I left with everything I was looking for, and more.

Before that, I think they were mail order only for a while.
