I've passed an inventory of my collection to some
serious collectors in
the UK. They know that if I cease to be, they are to find all the
machines on that list (at least). The problem is that many of the
machines are partially dismantled, and that it's not obvious that the
large cardboard box of PCBs downstairs goes with the pile of metal panels
in the spare bedroom to make an image processor/display.
I'm pretty new to the collecting game, but I'm already having trouble
keeping machines, parts, software, manuals, and releated stuff tractable.
I've picked-up some barcode reading equipment with the idea that one day
I'll encode the contents of all of my boxes, and tie it to all together
with a database that include historical info, condition info, and other
notes.
Has anybody already done something like this? If so, can I steal your
scheme?
