Speaking from experience, this is worth trying.  I picked up a unused
surplus reader from the local DRMO sale for $5 and was even able to find
the manual and an extra bulb for it.  Too bad the reader turned out to be a
piece of sh** when I tried to use it, but for five bucks, it was no big
loss.

You'll probably find that most of the stuff at these sales is junk, ranging
from old books from the library to factory-sized equipment out in the yard,
but if you enjoy swap meets, it can be fun.
