Speaking of
big iron, what's the best place to look for DEC10s or 20s?
Most of us would like that answer.

Well, this leads to the obvious question...
WHERE ARE YOU?
I used to have the board set to Decathalon, but I gave it to a friend who
fiddles with the coin-ops.

Location! Location! Location! Isn't this thread all about the
bare fact that most old computers are too heavy or too worthless
to ship by conventional means, and that personal pick-up is necessary?
Yes, it is. Yet people continue to post "here's an extensive
IMSAI system that you'll need to pick up in person" without a
single word as to where it's located. Argh!

And what area might that be? I still have Clay Champ (Z80 based),
Destruction Derby (pre-microprocessor days), Cheyenne (sp?, and don't
recall the processor), Ms PacMan (Z80 IIRC), and a couple of Bally pins
that use one of the Rockwell processors. Just picked up a Midway
Seawolf last weekend and again, don't remember the processor.
