Well... I finally found one, I ordered a used Imsai 8080 from an
undisclosed place in CA (they had one on consignment) and they're
shipping it to me here in Boston.
Thanks to those on the list who gave me pointers on how to find one.
Now I gotta order replacement switches for the front panel (Tony heads

Not even gonna guess what shipping is cross country for that heavy of a
machine. Does it work did they say?

Considering:
My Apollo DN5500 cost almost $250 to ship from CA to WA. Found that out
the hard way, and will never make the same mistake again. UPS wouldn't
even deliver it, I had to go get it from the regional distribution centre.
The machine was barely worth the $100 I offered for it, adding on $250 for
shipping really sort of soured me on the whole deal.
The machine is pretty much just a standard AT-sized box, although it's a
bit heavier due to sturdier construction. The 19" colour monitor weighs
about 120 pounds. (and doesn't even give a good picture!)

For that kind of money that close you may have been able to get a weekend
rental truck, round trip.

He sells the paddle switches among other things. I just got a handful
from him.
