In my experience, the only thrift stores worth going to for hardware are
the chains, like Thrift Town, Thrift Center, etc. At least that is the
case here in California and also in Raleigh, NC, where I spent a lot of
time a couple years ago.

Unfortunately, here in raleigh, things have pretty much dried up as well. I
remember I used to find neat stuff, like my PCRT and platinum apple //e
system. I did find an atari 1200xl in the box some time ago that I hid, and
was going to get later, but somehow someone beat me to it. My latest addition
was my IBM S/36 pc and 5150 controller but that was in the spring. Even my
favourite IBM PS/2s are getting hard to find.
