I think Advanced Electronics.  It was out in Jersey down NJ73 if I
remember correctly.  The one in Philadelphia near Oxford Circle did like
Radio Shack and went to other product lines before it disappeared.
I'd have to check if the guys who sold used computer equipment in Gray's
Ferry are still around.  There was a guy in Germantown who sold old
equipment, at least he did until his roof caved in.
