Yo Said  "Yo sai   don' "run acros an ADAM  ho th 
hec d you?? "
 
I have found two excellent sources, my favorite is the flea 
markets. I have a wish list preprinted with pictures of the 
ADAM and accesories. I give this to vendors with a price range 
that I am willing to pay. That way they can decide before they 
buy sommething, if it is worth it to them to pick it up. On 
several occasions they have called me with a lead of a system 
that was higher in cost than they could pay to sell to me and 
still make it worth their time. 
 
My second favorite source is to run an Ad in the KC Star it 
is big enough and regional in distribution. I simply say, wanted 
to buy an ADAM computer, or wanted to buy an ADAM Disc Drive, 
or wanted to buy Colecovision Game Cartridges. This has paid 
off each and every time. I plan on running a new ad in the next 
few weeks.
 
I used to get leads from computer repair shops, but very few 
people come in to get one repaired any more. That source has 
all but dried up for me.
 
My newest source is slow but has paid a few dividends. A friend 
is a local trash hauler. (garbage collector) He has found many 
Atari and other game carts for me. Has only foound a couple 
Coleco items. 
Hope that this list of ideas can help you, if you are looking 
for any specific items.
