I learned Fortran on that very machine in Paul Pierce's collection. When
Clatsop Community College surplused it out in 1989 (after having it nearly 20
years) he outbid me in the sealed bid sale.

It is going to be hard to find a 1130. You might try remote, poor community
colleges. It was really designed as an engineering machine and pushed into
business applications.

Good luck.
