That's my fear. I have a lot of gear that hasn't been powered up in
10+ years now. We simply didn't have room in the apartment for it.
I have a small "computer lab" I'm setting up. The big problem is the
PDP-11/44 still needs moved out of my parents garage, plus it has
been about 9 years since I powered it up last.

I'm the same. Too many hobbies, not enough time.
These days, classic
computing has taken a back seat to getting the wood shop done. Still
need to finish the basement also. :-/
With me it's photography that classic computing has taken a back seat
to. Truth be told I'd much rather mess with Photography, and at
least at the moment it takes less space. Though since I'm interested
in Large Format camera's that could change. :-)
I got rid of 3
A2000's a couple years ago to another list member. At the
time I needed the space more than 3 A2000's. I still have 1.5 A500's, 1
A600, 2 A3000's, and 2 A1200's (I might be able to build 1 working from the
two, but it need's surface mount work).
The caps like to go from what I hear.
