Thanks for the links.  I'm familiar with the few that still carry 
pre-PowerPC parts.  I can find all of it on eBay but am not willing to 
pay inflated prices for parts.  It is one thing to pay for someone's 
work in restoring a system-cleaning, repairing, and making it ready for 
a new home, but when some people want as much for a power supply as I 
can sell the entire IIci for it isn't worth it.  I'm not looking to 
keep the 20ish machines I need to fix up either and I'd like to be able 
to sell them for reasonable prices.

A few of them have A/UX on them and those are the ones I'm most 
interested in restoring and getting to new homes.  I've stumbled upon 
badcaps.net a few times, but again those prices are a little too steep 
for me.  I'm not a total cheapwad, I just do not want to pay $60 for a 
IIci power supply when I can probably only get $50 for the whole 
working machine.

Cheers,
Jesse
