Ah, my favorite place to go. I love going to Colemans surplus in PA every so often and walking the yard. Never know when you're going to bump your foot on a piece of something you've been looking for, or not looking for, you're whole life.
Weather was beautiful, which was odd, since it rarely is on my trips. Shawn Coleman has been on a scrapping frenzy the past few years, since the price of scrap metal is up. This is fine since a lot of the stuff in his yard was just plain JUNK that needed to be melted down. The famous Wall O Cars is long gone, turned into Chinese hammers and Taiwaneses fishing trawlers.
HOWEVER, now he seems to be bulldozing a bunch of stuff that still have usable parts and components into pile for cutting up. Green trailers, truck components, and the like. I saw a pile of fiberglass Gama Goat seats bulldozed into a pile for the dump, along with axles in relatively good shape. Every time I used to go there, I saved a few hundred radio cables. No more, all scrap cabling has been melted down for copper content. A shame.
Bottom line is: GET YOUR ASSES TO COLEMANS and save some of this stuff before it's all gone! There are still lots of parts to scavenge, along with great deals. He has about half a dozen pioneer tool kit trailers in good shape that he wants gone for $750 each. Not bad!
Pictures are below. Hope they work out, am linking them in from another site.
