We've all heard talk about how great amateur radio
events are for finding
good stuff. Tonight, I went to the Ventura Amateur Radio Club annual
auction and picked up some interesting stuff.
$ 1.00 IBM TPC (Tempest version of the IBM PC)
$ 5.00 Commodore 16 clean in the original box
$ 5.00 NEC PC-8201A in the original box
$ 1.00 Apple //e system w/ monitor, printer, numeric keypad
$ 2.00 Apple //e system w/ monitor, printer
$10.00 Commodore System w/ 1702 monitor, printer, etc.
$ 1.00 Collection of Apple ][ software
BTW, I have never seen (or heard) of the IBM TPC before. Anyone know how
common these things are? Both the monitor and keyboard have shielded cables
running to the box (as expected) and it looks like the box itself is a box
within a box.
Damn, with some of the prices you californy guys pick stuff up at , my
collection is rapidly losing value. Even at the low-level of the $Can I
couldn't get back my investment. I see 1702s going for $40 at least on
CSA2 . Maybe the guys selling at real prices live in Minnesota or Arkansas.
