Selling My Collection

Upon the date 02:27 PM 2/27/00 -0800, John Lawson said something like: I'm really sorry to see you leave John! You've been one of the "core" group on this list from before I joined who's left me with important bits of knowledge and wisdom about a broad variety of classic computer-related subjects. I really hope you are able to find a fine home for the collection. I think I can _really_ sympathize with you on the space thing. For at least 25 years I've been a serious early radio and electronic communications collector/historian. I have several very interesting items amongst the mostly garden variety early radio collection fitted into the house. Now, with folks like you here, I've been able to develop my classic computer collecting hobby within a short time and obtain a few interesting classic computer pieces to add to the several gems I already had before I "discovered" the hobby. As Hans F. and William D. can attest from seeing our house, there is a wee bit of a space problem in "my" areas ;) Beverly "allows" me a bit over half the basement, all the attic, an extra bedroom (a small one) and the 2 car garage at the back of the property for my stuff (she's giving me the evil eye on the half of the main garage filled with DEC gear though . . .). At least the DEC gear out in the garage is heading out to Colorado which is beginning to be planned now. There are several radios on display around our living room but those are like a piece of furniture. Not many of us folks have yet figured out how to make a typical minicomputer look like a piece of wood furniture in order to please the spouse/S.O. ;) Good luck! -Chris -- -- Christian Fandt, Electronic/Electrical Historian Jamestown, NY USA cfandt(a)netsync.net Member of Antique Wireless Association URL: http://www.antiquewireless.org/
