Gary's original message wasn't clear how
things worked there,
but after a few questions I figured it out. I did spend money inside
the store on old manuals and ICs (74141s and C1702As, which
are on-topic), but the hardware I listed was outside the building,
next to a dumpster. According to the folks behind the counter,
locals come by and drop off their old hardware next to that
dumpster. So, anything out there is free for the taking.
Free! Wow, that's great!
What did they have inside computer related, anything? Last time I was
there they had an IBM System 36 and a few HP parts, some Apple // stuff
and a few Macs, and various PC's that were plain garbage by even my
standards. I've been meaning to get back down, but just haven't had the
time for a potentially wasted trip. They don't seem to know much about
computer equipment. In fact, I think they even stated that to me at one
time.
