I wanted to start off by saying that tonyj, the guy that listed a commodore 64 lot and a bunch of Ultima IBM games, just up and cancelled the purchase on me Friday after having the deal worked out for well over a month. Not only am I disappointed that I didn't get the stuff, but he waited so long to tell me that 'he wasn't comfortable shipping the hardware' that I missed out on that Apple I replica on here that I really wanted. Had I known that those funds were freed up I would have bought it immediately. (I've been buying a lot lately so I thought, Beau, you should show some restraint...)
And now for the 'you win some' part. (another reason I didn't immediately jump on the Apple I, I didn't know how much this would cost me. Turns out not that much since the owner (a family member) was happy just to have someone help clear out his garage!)
I got home with that at about 1am last night. What is that? Well, I know there's at least...
An Osbourne Executive (The first and only thing we plugged in, which started smoking immediately lol)
A couple TRS-80 Model 1
A model 3
An expansion unit for a model 1
A tandy hard drive
Apple II Plus
Apple 512k mac
Apple IIc
Apple profile hard drive (boy that got my hopes up fro a Lisa when I saw it)
A few commodore 64s
A commodore 128
A few other commodore systems which I can't remember
Several Atari computers
A few IBM 5151 monitors
A 5153 that wasn't screwed together...
A model M and a model F keyboard (the one with a badjilliion function keys)
Several 5150, 5160, and 5170 computers in various states, all with rust unfortunately
An IBM 5140
A couple other clicky keyboards
LOTS AND LOTS of mfm/rll hard drives and full height 5.25 floppy drives
A few other 808X and 286 computers
Lots of CGA/monochrome monitors
Printers, cables, accessories, books, probably a thousand floppy disks etc etc.
Unfortunately this stuff was pretty much kept in a barn so a lot of original boxes(nothing exciting) and books were destroyed. Quite a bit made it through seemingly 'okay' though. I'm going to be crazy busy sorting out the good from the bad!
