I have had better luck with the independent father 'n son yards. Most of
the bigger ones (not all!) can be unfreindly.

Gary Green has an EXCELLENT junkyard near Baltimore (I will get more
details). He has lots of BIG stuff (some quite old - a Univac tape drive
from the late 1960's was the oldest thing I saw), and prices seem to be
decent. Most things, however, are missing hard disks (ex NSA stuff), and
too much has been out in the rain.
