Good afternoon to all,
I am starting the process of selling off some of my vintage computer systems, so as to not
burden anyone I leave behind.
The systems I list here are available for viewing in Bedford, NH, just west of Manchester,
NH. Anyone interested can send me an e-mail message and we can set up an appointment for
you to visit. Cash and Carry, of course, and reasonable offers will be considered.
Altair 8800c — $2500
I constructed this system early in 2019. I built the front panel and front panel
interface boards, and soldered up the backplane. The rest of the boards were purchased
assembled and tested. You can see the Altair 8800c story here:
https://deramp.com/altair.html The system is fully tested and working, currently using
virtual Altair disk drives via the Deramp application. Plenty of documentation.
Single 8 inch disk drive in a dual drive cabinet — $500
This physical disk drive has been paired with the Altair 8800c in the past. Works fine.
I included will be an 8 inch disk drive that used to be in this cabinet until the power
supply failed. I believe this drive can be repaired. Included will be another 8 inch
drive that is the wrong form factor to fit into the cabinet. Purchased on eBay,
untested.
Altair 680 — $2000
I acquired this system on eBay back at the end of 2018. It was not working, but a bit of
troubleshooting discovered bad ram which was replaced. The least significant LED of the
address display does not light, but I’ve tested that the proper signals are there. I
simply did not want to risk changing out the LED. This system comes with the 4-slot
riser, but the connectors are not yet soldered in. No add-in boards. Plenty of
documentation.
Complete SWTPC 6800 clone system from Corsham Technologies — $400
I acquired this system from Bob at Corsham in the middle of 2018. It is the complete
setup, with the full 64K ram and the virtual disk drives. Documentation available at
Corsham Technologies:

Northstar Horizon — $800
I purchased this system on eBay as a running system. From time to time I had problems
with the top 8K ram on the Horizon 64K ram board. The 64k ram board has been replaced
with a Compupro Ram 17 (or clone), works great, no problems. I will include the glitchy
Horizon 64K ram board. FYI, a Deramp Virtual Sector Generator works great with this
system, eliminating the need for hard sector diskettes.
