     Compaq should be able to service your DECstation, if you had a contract.

     Where are you physically located? Right now we are starting to try to
     find someone to take about 100 DECstations off our hands....

     To buy second hand DECstations check out Carlson Computers. They
     advertise in misc.forsale.computers.workstation and have a web page that
     can be referenced if you look at http://www.sunhelp.org

     On ebay, a few days ago, I noticed that someone was selling floppy drives
     for a DECstation. Also, if maybe be possible to purchase a replacement
     for a small amount of money. They few I've found have been around $40.

     DEC does, you just have to pay a lot. You can usually buy older machines
     online, sometimes ebay has them.

     For a list of dealers that deal in used DEC equipment, check out:

     http://www.usedcomputer.com

     and work your way down to dealer listings.  Many are not online or do
     not list their online info.  Following is a list I have accumulated.  I
     do not endorse any of these, just provide the info.
