It's weird because I believe this is a 120v model and I can't find any evidence they ever sold these in North America. Even as a display piece they are quite rare.

Lyrec 532 24-track audio tape machine and remote control. Comes with two MRL alignment and adjustment tapes, an empty spook and another spool of Ampex tape. - $300

Stuff without pictures:

Neon sign parts. Mostly transformers and still working letter segments. - $30

Commandex Videotex terminal. IR keyboard is missing - $5
Wacom ArtPad II ADB. Comes with stylus and holder but no software. - $20

If it is not obvious, some of these items are way too large and heavy to ship. I strongly recommend you drop-in. I know I got way more crap stuffed away.

Very impressive collection of Legacy media equipment! That Xerox Memory Writer is a thing of beauty!

Was wondering if any lucky soul came for that Sony GY-8240!
I cannot DM you as I'm an new user. May I reach out in another method? Apologies to the mod team, as this could be considered "necroing" :p.
 
Unfortunately after four months of it being l advertised around I had to make space and it was recycled. I'd of kept it if I could find tapes but everyone wanted good money. :(
 
Thanks for getting back to me! I figured I was too late it was worth a shot anyway.

I've been looking for one for a while now, its like a great white buffalo. Again sorry for bothering ya on an old thread, keep being awesome!

No biggie. At this time that tape machine, the Superfax, the soundbar, the Commandex, the Teletype stand, the Bose stereo, and the ArtPad are no longer available, but the rest still is.


(Please for the love of god, I need people to come and haul stuff away. I don't want to throw it away. Just show up and don't flip it is all I ask.....)
 
...the Lyrec is once again available for sale. Price reduced to $150

Adding:

Fluke 8502A/AT with missing modules and fails self-test - $5
Nordmende Boheme C tube Radio. Cracking finish and no back cover. Came up on a dim bulb and picked up an AM broadcast but badly needs a recap - $5
Ensoniq Halo synthesizer (no sound ROMs installed) - $35
HP 7925 disk drive. Almost a decade later I still believe I can find the correct boards to attach it to my HP 9845, but it's massive and it's taking up space in the corner of my bedroom. It powers up and unlocks the lid so it's probably good to go. - $300

IBM 024 and 056 punch and verifier
CGS_12333.JPG

This was an incredibly stupid purchase. I do not have space for either machine. I do not have the time in my mountain of other projects to get either working in any form of a timely manner. I don't even have the ability to store these correctly, so they are outside under a tarp in the car park. VCfed member discount. $200 pays the gas and trailer rental I had to do to bring these to the house and you can have it for that.

J&T/ Thomas Trading Co. 3-reel 25 cent slot machine. (yes I'm aware it has a $1 belly glass)
IMG_0293.JPG

Another one I'm hesitant with because I spent way too much time on it and I'm admitting I don't have space for it. A complete strip-down and rebuild. Fully greased and oiled, new lamps, working electronics. New arborite cladding. Still has some signs of being poorly stored before me but it's plug-in and coin-up. Took me about a year to restore. - $400

Removing:

Westinghouse AM tube clock radio. Missing dial knob.
Tektronix 7633 scope.

Large Item Special:
Choose any large items* (such as the Sony TV or the Lyrec tape machine) and for only $20 I'll deliver it as far as Portland, OR.
*punch and verifier exempt
 
Removing the Lyrec 532 again as it's now on hold.
For everything else, there's still tons of stuff I gotta get rid of. The snow has rolled in for the winter but if anyone wants to plan a raid on my stuff next spring, show up on a Saturday or something and I can just load your car with things. I did deliver some items to VCF West and Midwest this year but it does consume a considerable amount of vehicle space.

Amazing items; brings back memories :) especially the Tektronix 7000 series scopes... used to fix them back in the day.
 
Macintosh LC BOGO deal.

Buy one as-is LC for $1 and get a battery bombed one for absolutely FREE.

(because it's winter here now, it might be a good time to plan something and in the spring come visit when stuff can be pulled out into the driveway/lawn.
 
I am interested in the MemoryWriter, issue is getting up to your part of the world; is it still available?
