Indeed it was, until they were shut down by by govenment for some
questionable activities of an international nature unrelated to my
post.

If it helps, they were located directly adjacient to the Monroe
County airport in Rochester, New York. For some readers, considering
that the time period involved was 1968-1975, this particular location
may ring some bells.  

For me at the time, this was just another of many surplus junk shops,
although their inventory seemed a bit pecular in that it included things
like half-track vehicles, and many airborne weapon system components,
and although I never actually saw anything close to a gun or missile on
open display there.  Rumor has it that their closing was the result of
some involvement in a military arcraft export schems that involved
refueling stop-overs at the Monroe Country airport before proceeding
overseas by clandestine, fully armed military aircraft. Rumor has it
that 'The Farm' was involved, but who knows.

Rochester had another fantastic surplus dealer, whose facilities were
located in the tunnels beneath the then razed Rochester, NY railway
station.  The place actually had stalactites growing down from the
ceiling, but contained an absolutely amazine variety of project surplus
merchandise from Kodak, Bauch & Lomb, and others.  This was the place
for physicists, and I still own a CVC 3-inch oil diffusion pump and
high-vacuum gate valve that I purchased there for something like $10,
plus a Sorensen 30-amp regulated d.c. power supply for $12!  Touring
the tunnels I recognized the ground reconstructin electronics for
Lunar Orbiter, and even two complete Lunar Orbiter 'Pigs', plus a
collection of optics surplus from various surveilance satelite
programs.  Not fast sellers, but still neat stuff!

Fact is, I consider Rochester, N.Y. to be the surplus capital of the
world -- not that they want this label.  It was a kind of distributed
thing.  For example, Wards held semianual weekend sales of the
microscopes that they had taken in trade from medical schools.
This is where I purchased my B&L turret 100, 480, and 960X microscope
for $15.  They even threw in a kit to make Gram (sp?) positive or
negative bacteria determinations.

I moved from Rochester to the Boston area something like 20 years ago,
and while Rochester was absolutely dead in comparison with Boston, I
stll miss it. (Sadly, Rochester has no ocean front properties or trees,
and Lake Ontario don't quite cut it!)  ;-)

    It's hard to say. Classification systems for military and civilian
    manufacturing is a trade off. The facility maintainence and security
    people at military bases usually know just about everything going
on,
    but they also hardly ever have a technical "need to know".

 to answer this "yes-and-no" implied question of yours.

 I found it interesting that they did not classify some things as
 Restricted Data that are covered by the Atomic Energy Act, but that
 may be so that they can be revealed to persons who do not otherewise
 need the clearance to know Restricted Data.  They only applied that
 classification level to the warhead and its production numbers.

That's "special," not to be confused with the word
"Special" with a capital S which has a very, um,
special meaning in this particular bureaucracy.

Surely you saw the above-mentioned (U), (C), (S), (TS) on
paragraphs, titles, and in bibliographies. If you are
reading a classified document, practically everything
but the page numbers carries a separate marking.

My favorite, from a table of contents, was something like
"Although every chapter in this document is Unclassified,
the document in its entirety is to be handled as Secret."

 As for the web, you should know about Carey Sublette's wonderful effort
 that is at http://www.fas.org/nuke/hew/ and includes such information as
 can be culled from public sources (all documented).  For example, the
 scrapping of the GLCM with the W-84 warhead resulted from the INF treaty,
 which allows the ALCM with the W-80 warhead (model 1) that reportedly
 weighs 290 pounds -- with the same weight (and other properties) on the
 SLCM version now "stored ashore".

 It would not surprise me if the amount of modern high explosive required
 to produce a "1000 pound bomb" is on the order of 290 pounds.

Or are you just an asshole trying to stir up trouble?

 person who quoted you.  

 If you had just repeated that you were working from memory of a public
 source and that definitive numbers are probably classified as Restricted
 Data, I would have just pointed out that there are sources available
 that are likely to be more reliable than your memory, or even SciAm.
