Jim Willing was one of the pioneers in this computer
collecting hobby
(I apply pioneers to those of us that were doing this seriously over
ten years ago - before this list, and before there even was a hobby).
He was an engineer in Portland (I think - the US Northwest anyway),
He was just outside Portland.
but gave it up to restore and run an old time bowling
alley - in Yates
Center, KS. Yates Center is quite small.
It must be Jim, the picture is identical to this one.

Hmmm, this means it should be possible to get email to him via eBay at
least.

From the pictures, there is quite a collection of
DEC things, other
than the two for sale. I think it would be extremely unlikely
that two
PDP-11/70s (and TU-56s in a another auction) were in Yates Center.
