Here in Los Alamos is a crazy surplus store named The Black Hole, which for many years collected scientific (and not so scientific) equipment from places like lab auctions. Alas, the end of an era is upon us - the store is closing, and they're trying to get rid of as much junk as they can before the rest is hauled away. This is one of the items there - an old cash register that, for whatever reason, seems to regard the single-digit five as special enough to get a different-colored button than the other single digits.
Despite wandering around the store for two hours, I just couldn't bring myself to buy anything. Some of the things I didn't buy include a six-foot wide, 500 pound roll of mylar, some leaking cans of Texxor Heat Cell, some sketchy looking capacitors, some transformers, or anything else for that matter.
If you're feeling jealous of the treasures, there are even more pictures in their own Flickr set to make you even more jealous..
