Anyone know where I can get a 93 YJ computer? Mine just shat the bed.

I think I found a few. They are used though. Should I worry about a used computer? Also, is it just plug and play? Just swap them out? Thanks!!

I bought a used one from eBay; plug and play, and has worked well for over a year (I kept the old one just in case, and I plan to send it to one of those refurbishers to keep as a backup)

Cool. Now I just gotta tow it back here.
I found one used locally at a used auto parts shop for $160. That sound fair? I also found one on ebay for $270.

take the local one at $160 but discuss it with them so you get it replaced if it's  not working - most of the wreckers offer DOA replacement warranty (well, more accurate would be dead on install but you know what i mean).

Yeah, they said they'll do a 30 day warranty. They also said it is tested and works fine. I'll update when its in and running.

I would grab it; $160 sounds very reasonable.  The one I bought in eBay was less, but I bought it precisely because it was at a bargain price (and what do you know; I needed it a few months later!)
