We have several old processors that have failed over the past couple of
years at STAR.

I was wondering how people deal with the old 167 and 162's. Are these at
all worth reparing?  

We still use quite a few of these on our older subsystems, and its
always worth having spares, and I have a used them for tutoring
purposes.  

We were buying surplus on ebay, but that hasn't been allowed for some
time. I am down to only a couple of spares.

How does one dispose of these if they are beyond repair?

Just wondering how other folks handle this.
