I'm not completely sure, but there were several outfits in the area.
One was Sam Goldwasser, who later ran an outfit called Laser Motion
(something). He had a lot of REALLY neat stuff, but wanted an
arm, a leg, and maybe a heart, too, for it! He wanted about $1100
for an old Tek 1240 logic analyzer with problems detected at power
up. I could get similar units for about $200 at the time. I believe
he is still in related businesses, but under yet a different name
again.

There was another outfit in Castro Valley that dealt mostly in high
vacuum systems and Semi production gear, but they had some
smaller items, too. I don't think they are still in business.
