TRW is where I recently found the Xerox 820 and documentation. Other
machines I have gotten down there include the APL/80, Tandy 6000, and
several Wang computers. I'm generally down there every month and look
for good deals. Unfortunately, I only see them a couple of times per
year. One machine I would like to get (and have seen several times down
there) is a Commodore portable of some sort. However what I am willing
to pay and what people have been asking differ by quite a bit :). I've
seen quite a few C-64s and some Radio Shack Model Is, but I have enough
of them and have turned them down. The Heathkit H-8 I just got was at
the CMRA swapmeet held at Devry on (I think) the third Saturday of the
month.

  If you are down sat the TRW swap meet, give me a call as either I or
some friends monitor 146.790 simplex (output frequency of a Santa
Barbara local repeater.)
