Hey everyone, I'm going to be travelling soon for work from Aus over to the US and visiting both LA & Las Vegas.
I've seen lots of videos on the YouTube of old computer recycling stores in the US which can often have a lot of vintage computer equipment.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any such stores in or around these locations as I would be keen to check one out during my visit.

Thanks,
Luke.

Re: California, my understanding is that most of the vintage electronics stores are up in the San Francisco/San Jose area, a good 6+ hour drive north of LA. As a resident of LA, I wish there was something closer by! Perhaps someone else knows of one that I'm not aware of.

Those vintage computer shops in SF must be a best kept secret. You can't find even retro video games stores here.

Many have closed. I used to be a denizen of Halted in the Sunnyvale area but I think it's gone now.

For the LA area, the swap meets used to be the thing, but COVID killed a number of them and the remainder mostly sell consumer electronics.
