I do remember Super Radio on Whitechapel as well as Milligans and doing a search for the former found this,
http://www.radiomuseum.co.uk/aboutme.html
and quoting from it,

" In Liverpool there was "Super Radio" which had a small shop in Whitechapel and a large old house in the suburbs in Rathbone Road which I recall was surrounded by a veritable mountain of stuff that was being systematically broken up for its copper content. I recall wobbling home on my bike with all sorts of goodies which I tried to get working ("18 sets", "19 sets", SCR522s etc.). There was also a shop in Brownlow Hill which dealt in similar stuff and I remember staggering home with a T1154 from there"

so this unnamed Brownlow Hill shop may be the other one you mention in post #496
