That's a good lesson for we scroungers.
I ALWAYS check for unusual parts when I go to a new electronic parts place. I almost
always find something interesting. I went in a place a few weeks ago and found a NIB
Intel bubble memory. I check for HP-IL cables (surplus places NEVER know what they are!),
Intel 4xxx parts, etc etc.

This certainly has to be one of my better finds to

owner of 6 brand new i8008 cpus (sorry, not for trade, as I have plans for
these.) Finding them the way I did was kinda strange... A couple of days
ago, on a whim, I called a local electronics dealer and asked if they had
any i8008 chips in stock, and much to my amazement, he had 6 in the parts
bin. :)
