RE: Bone Yards
For many years Campbel-Nelson, the VW dealer in the Shoreline area (just
north of Seattle) had their bone yard in the back of the dealership/shop
area.  Traditional setup.  Go to the counter, tell them you needed lets say
a knob for the heater fan switch for a Vanagon, they went to the bins,
brought out a box of knobs and switches, dumped them on the counter and
said "Go ahead, find the one you need". When I needed a rear heater core
for my '85 off I was lead to the lot, their mechanic with tools in hand.
 But now all gone, moved to Arlington, about an hour or more north up I-5.
 And since I don't do my own work anymore I have never even been there.
 What happened to the space that opened up when the bone yard left?  They
added a Nissan dealership next to the VW dealership.
