Kevin or some other Vancouverite may want to double-check the address, but
I'm 99% sure this is the place that used to be called "Computer Warehouse"
five or six blocks West of the Superstore on Grandview Hwy.
Two years ago they had a fairly good selection of older PC-clone stuff,
and some random other office equipment from around the area, but at generally
pretty high prices. I mainly visited them when I needed networking cables
and parts on a Sunday afternoon :-) I also got some working MFM drives
from them, and numerous broken MFM drives!
They had some moderately interesting stuff in their
"museum" area, but generally just bits and pieces that had been ripped out;
nothing resembling any sort of complete system.
For a while, they did have a rather good selection of Apple II GS units and
parts, judging by the burn-in on the CRT's they'd been used at a local video
rental chain as point-of-sale terminals.
