I've bought stuff from the people selling this

I got the feeling they were an ancient DEC VAR. Maybe they did test 20 years
ago before it got stuck in a bag and filed away. Seems like they may be
winding down now and just trying to move stuff. They seem to take most best
offers I've thrown at them. It is fairly random though. They turn down
offers they should take and take ones they shouldn't. I also got the feeling
there may not be a lot of people working there that actually know a lot about
what they are selling anymore. Calling them is a lot like calling an
auto-parts store staffed by florists.
That's JT Computer. They've been around for a very long time. I wouldn't
say they're "winding down", but they are very reasonable with offers. They
recognize hobbyists and preservationists, and they try to help out when they can.
