Vintage availability always varies by area - I've
seen precisely nothing up
here, although doubtless a few odds and ends exist down in Minneapolis (but
that's still a 10 hour round-trip for me, so I can't easily find things and
just hop in a vehicle to go get them).
Some of us, however, can do a 10 hour round trip on the drop of a hat
to go fetch something.
But, I know some of us have family or work obligations that can get in the way.
Find some middle ground - I have found that quite a few sources are
willing to hold onto some goodie for a short amount of time, as they
often realize all too well that *their* family and work obligations
often get in *their* way of having fun.
Beer, donuts, pizza or money can help!
:-) The second route seems to find more obscure stuff
(as well as 'common'
items) and typically for free or beer money - but it's a lot of work to get
yourself established as a collector of ${foo} and then to actively seek out
items. The old time vs. money equation, I guess.
Basically, yes.
