In 2015, I published my wish list here in the forum. In the meantime, many very rare computers have been added to my collection. But I am still looking for numerous computers. Mainly, but not only, from the 70s. Time for an update.
And yes, I know how expensive and almost impossible some items are to find. But my search was pretty successful in the past.
MOST wanted
After many years of searching, I am most happy about the following new additions: 39“ Bryant Disk Platter, RAMAC 24” disk platter, Kenbak-1 prototype, Apple Disk Drive S/N 2, Micral S, Q1, Datapoint 2200 and PDP Straight-8. But I would like to acquire more of these parts.
Offers preferably by DM. I have a shipping address in the US, in the UK and Germany. Pick-up is possible for very rare and sensitive items.
I guarantee that everything will remain confidential if you wish. Comments about what is unrealistic or that brand XY is overrated and Z would be much better don't help anyone. It will probably take me another 10 years to achieve almost everything and I can and will wait.
