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. -Dave
What's their story ? Were they big players in the DEC arena ? How do they have so
much stuff left after all these years ? I understand the guys out there that charge
insane money for stuff having things left on the shelf waiting for that call from
corporate purchasing but, these guys are really reasonable. Some stuff way cheaper than
ebay. Some things not so much. Their shipping isn't always fair or make sense. They
charged me $13 to ship a 3oz kdj11 console panel. from the shipping company.
I've had great experiences with them on eBay. I made a very
discounted offer on an MSV11-QC (burst-capable, 4MB
QBUS RAM, very nice item) for less than half the asking
price and mentioned that I was a hobbyist without
deep pockets; the offer was accepted.
I find that their prices seem pretty reasonable to me;
they'll charge a premium for genuinely rare items like an
11/93 CPU, but that's their prerogative. Meanwhile, they're
charging $120 for an 11/83 CPU, which is something I really
should get on.
