Does anyone in the NYC area have a pre-2000 PC with CRT I use to do some input-to-screen latency measurements?

So far, I've tested or can test a Commodore PET, SGI indy, Symbolics 3620, Next cube, Mac classic, and Apple II, plus some modern machines.

Unfortunately, old PCs seem to be in a sort of uncanny valley where they're too slow to be useful and too mundane for people to collect.

Also, does anyone near NYC have a phone I can use for latency/responsiveness benchmarking, esp. an older iPhone?

I've started doing basic latency measurements on phones and haven't found and iPhone that's slower than any Android phone.

I'm curious if an iPhone or iPhone2 is quicker than a modern Android phone at scroll and/or tap responsiveness.
