Top collectable machines

I am a lot more selective now than I was a couple of years ago -partly because I quickly filled my limited space, and as I learned more about different systems I realized that some were more interesting to me than others. I mostly began collecting because I was curious about old computers that I had never seen or worked on but also because I enjoyed the thrill of the hunt. The fun that I have with these old computers mostly comes from repairing and restoring them, and hunting for additional items that would make them complete (manuals, software, etc.) Once I've cleaned and repaired them, I add them to my web page as reference for others, and perhaps as a bit of trophy display for myself as well. Once I've done that, I am usually open to the idea of trading or selling them... but not in every case. My friends and family couldn't care less about my old computers, except that they know that it's a hobby that I enjoy so they at least try to be excited for me when I tell them about a new find. I'm also better about self policing, which makes the collecting part easier on them. I collect purely for my own enjoyment but I don't mind bragging a bit sometimes to other collectors who DO care. E.
