Hi. I am new to this forum and have joined specifically to get some help finding a home for various old computers and related stuff. A friend of mine has medical problems and needs to liquidate his collection of old stuff to help pay his bills. He has a garage full of old computers but neither of us know their value or how best to sell them, (I have an eBay store, but this site is probably where I will list them).
Here's a list of what we have come up with so far:
1) Zenith Data Systems LSI-11 (new but missing backplane assembly and boards, but have kits for these below)
2) Heathkit* H-11 (has backplane assembly and 4 PC boards - he says it works)
3) Heathkit ET-100 learning computer (kit form still in box - the box has been trashed but all contents are undisturbed)
4) Heathkit H-10* Paper Tape Reader/Punch (kit form still in box - still sealed except that bottom shipping tape was slit opened)
5) A Heath Main Board assembled and tested (has various QC stamps and labels) P/N 85-2829-1. (Not sure what this goes with)
6) Heathkit H-11-2 Parallel I/O board (unassembled* kit in box)
7) Heathkit H-11-5 Serial Interface Module (unassembled kit in box)
8 ) Zenith Data Systems/Heath microcomputer learning system model ET-3400 (assembled and in original box)
9) Zenith Data Systems Video Display Monitor Model ZVM-123-A-2 (in original box)
10) A spare CRT for Video Display Monitor (Toshiba 310GJB4)
11) Zenith Data Systems Z-150 desktop computer system (boots OK) (two of these).
There is a bunch more stuff like this that we need to dig out. I also saw a huge Winchester drive but it is very heavy so I didn't bring it home. He also has the documentation that goes with this stuff; we need to sort through it all and match it up to the items.
Can someone do us a favor and let us know what we have here? Anything that is worthless or valuable? Thanks for any help, he'll appreciate it.
