I'm not so sure that it'll be easier to find things in the Bay Area.

Things here seem to change faster than elsewhere in the world, at
least technologically. The latest toys seem to be easier to get.
Companies rise and fall at a phenomenal rate...

Hence, many old machines have probably been long thrown away.

In other parts of the country/world, the push to acquire the latest
technologies may be absent and hence many places may still be using
machines from the 1970s/80s.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Family obligations sometimes prevent me from
scrouging around a lot so my experiences are limited.
