Hi was wondering if you know anyone that would be interested in two working sol-20 one 16k
and the other 64k with the helios 4 disk drive, and two original moniters.

Nobody here would be interested in that. The 4,000 messages you received
after posting this are just people playing practical jokes on you.

It's true.
I don't want one. But if you are having a hard time disposing of it,
I'll take care of getting rid of it for you.
Neither do I, but I understand the frustration of having a machine you can't
get rid of, so I'll gladly do him the favour.

This is what happens when you leave the group for a year! You miss out on
all the in jokes. :)
(Actually the pic I saw of one here :
http://www.thebattles.net/sol20/sol.html
looks pretty much the same as something I have which is called a Decider.
Mine is an Apple II clone however.

Neat. It does look like a Sol-20. I would almost think someone gutted a
Sol-20 and put an Apple ][ motherboard inside but the edges of the side
panels are squared whereas the Sol-20 side panel edges are rounded. And
the keyboard is different.

That's been done, too.
But the keyboard was an RCA membrane keyboard connected with a short
cable.

So are Apple II clones what you primarily collect? Your Decider and Orange+
are very cool clones. I've heard of the Decider but I've never seen one until
now. I have a couple of different ads for the the Orange+ from Byte magazine
-one looks like your Orange+ and the other has a case that looks more like
the original Apple II but with a larger label. Do you have any other unusual
clones? I have a few myself.

Other than a couple of Franklins, a Laser 128 the two mentioned above, most
of my Apples are just Apples. I've recently got into some Macs but due to
space limitations, I have pretty well stopped collecting. I have a few boxes
of mags with ads for most of what I have and someday I will match them with
the pics on my new site. I guess the bulk of my collection is Hyperions. I
have 7 or 8 plus a couple of storage towers (that's what I call them) and
endless amounts of software and manuals. Probably my favorites are the
quirky tiny Tandy things plus a wonderful Osborne Executive, several Compaq
portables and a Panasonic Executive Partner. I'm in the process of taking
each of these out and testing them to make sure the humidity of the basement
hasn't ruined anything. So far so good. If I could figure out a way of
keeping power supplies linked to computers, I would have more time to play!
If I find any neat Apple clones, I will post here. I'll get the Decider out
too and see if it still cranks. It has both chips onboard, the Zilog ? and
the Motorola. Wish I had more info on it.
