Recently the physics department at UW retired their DEC-10; I was able to
convince them to give me the front panel (all the lights and switches).  I'm
interested in expanding my collection of panels, plus acquiring any other
interesting computer antiques (things like core planes, etc). Is there any
systematic way to approach this treasure hunt?  Are there any companies out
there that collect and resell such hardware?  I know the Computer Museum in
Boston sells some things, but that's the only supplier (or anyone close) that
I've found.  I'd appreciate any hints from the net.
