The closest thing to "vintage hardware" I've seen in this part of
the country is a middle-aged AS/400 and an Osborne 1...The only truly
interesting thing I've found here was the System/36 (5360) I picked
up last summer.

Still,
considering that someone snatched that one up with a buy-
it-now
option instead of waiting out the auction tells me that they aren't
common on ebay either.
Lots of people, including some of the mainframe collectors (big guns),
still think that the 029s and 129s are really rare. I suspect they are
not looking past their screens. For those of us that are actually
doing the legwork, the things just come around.
