Price guide for vintage computers

Hate to prolong this already too-long thread, but that raises an interesting point; since that's exactly what most of us were doing in those long-ago days, hacking around the insides with our soldering irons, is it really a sin to do the same thing today instead of keeping them on the shelf in pristine condition?

The only exception I would take about your statements above is, if in your quest for beat up machines that YOU would beat them up in order to get them to your liking. I assume that is not what you do, but felt the need to mention it. Even though one's system is theirs and they can do anything they want to with them, I personally take exception to intentional damage of items. Again I am not saying that is what you do. <snip>
