My late father's collection

[hoach]

Its much bigger than this, but in order to keep my marriage I am only bringing home what I can fit in the back of my Tacoma, selling, swapping, giving away.. I have been bringing them back from our old house and shop that I grew up in. Some of it was stored perfectly while others will need a lot of work. At one point in order to keep my mom's sanity I took truck loads to a recycling center, I still cringe at that thought, but you got to do what you got to do.
The Next system is missing the cable, and a mouse.
The SE is giving me a lot of problems, squashed screen, chime of death on boot. Needs caps, and a reseat.
The Classic II boots just fine, I did manage to get the internal drive booted, but it has since stopped booting, but my SCSIsd is booting it fine. will need caps, but I have cleaned what has spilled and it seems to be okay for now.
The g3 iMac will not boot at all. I have taken it apart, removed batteries, reseated the CPU, nothing.
Everything else needs to be crazy cleaned.
Dad LOVED the TRS80 and has a lot of cool 4ps, and plenty of interesting manuals that I left down there.
...there is so much more down at the house.

I see a Bell & Howell Apple ][ hiding in there. Would be very interested if any of this ever comes up for sale.

Lots of neat stuff there - what else might we see in the collection?

Plenty of Commodores, just one of the many TRS80-4p, a Laser 128, a few IIC, platinum IIe’s, etc, TRS 80 color computer. Bell and Howell.

Shoot me an offer, shipping is pricey as you know. I’ll clean it up and send it your way.

he has a lot of power supplies from IIs, a lot of IICx, IIFX, I haven’t been upstairs but he has a lot up there too. Probably some surprises that I haven’t realized. I have sold a few already. My brother picked up some other machines already.

I've often wondered about picking up an Amiga and learning about it, not the big one but the smaller one, as I do not have much room. Amiga 500?

Is that a Mac 128k? 512k? Plus?

The 128ex is pretty slick. I haven’t opened it yet but it seems to work. I hate putting in working original discs in these old machines as I never know what it might do to them but a copy of AppleWorks seemed to work great. Missing a few keys but I wonder if they are in the shop somewhere. . Dad loved the IIC and especially it’s companion monitor so
I like hooking up this machine to the tiny monitor. The screen really is pretty.
