I kept my vintage computer collection in a storage locker while living
in an apartment. Last year I bought a house and moved everything I can
into my basement. There is no more room so I've decided to let go of
the pieces that don't fit within the focus of my collection as well as
duplicates of what I have already. Much of it used to be part of Dave
Dunfield's collection. If someone were to take everything, you'd need a
UHAUL trailer or a van. The storage locker is in Newmarket.
There's some Commodore stuff... mostly things like joysticks, floppy
disks, power supplies, one Commodore PC etc. There is Atari stuff, lots
of TRS-80 stuff, COLECOVISION Adam stuff, many S-100 cards, many
manuals, an old Tektronix calculator, Heathkit computer, Osborne Vixen,
Franklin Ace 100 and 1000, Intel development computer (for chip design),
Superbrain S100 computer with 8-inch floppy drives, etc.
Everything must go. I want to stop paying for the storage locker and
hope to save this stuff from the landfill by finding new homes for them
ASAP. If you or anyone you know might be interested in something (or
everything!), please contact me off list: ryan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I
have SOME photos that I can send. Let me know what you are interested
in. I need to drive almost an hour to get to the locker so I'd prefer
to just meet someone instead of going just to take more pictures and
inventory. If you can give some cash for the lot, that would be
appreciated, but really I just need it gone and I'm not looking to make
a lot of money from it.
I also have some other machines that I will be selling on Kijiji or
eBay. If someone is interested, let me know before I post them:
- Commodore 64C computer, 1802 monitor, 1541C floppy drive. All in
original boxes, have not tested.
- Commodore PET 8032. I think it worked last time I tried
- Commodore PET 2001-8, different tape drive installed, not mounted.
Tape drive doesn't work, might have other issues
- Commodore desk for the VIC20/C64. It is missing the round C64 sticker
on the drawer.
- Apple Macintosh IIci with colour monitor, keyboard, mouse, manuals,
original boxes. Working last time I tried them.
- Apple Macintosh LCII with colour monitor, keyboard, mouse, manuals,
printer. No boxes. Working last time I tried them.
- Apple IIe, two versions (with and without numeric keypad). Both
yellowed, unknown condition
- Apple II+, unknown condition
- Apple II colour monitor
I am willing to trade for a very nice working Commodore 64 with complete
original box in very good condition (including all literature, plastic
bags, etc.) That's the condition I expect for the majority of my collection.
