I have a computer collection that I have to sell. My wife and I have separated, and the
house is being sold, and I have no place to keep the computers in my new apartment.
It is a pretty nice collection. Altair 8800, two IMSAI 8080's, an Apple ][ (not ][+ or
e or anything, the first one), a TRS-80 (the real first revision, with no numeric keypad,
with the original cassette drive, monitor) an LSI monitor, a KIM-1, an original IBM PC
(not an XT -- original 2-floppys, original bios), an SwTPC 6800 box, with no innards.
Similarly, a Cromemco box with no innards. A Northstar Horizon.
Some 8-inch drives, a bunch of S-100 boards, a luggable Kaypro portable, an odd and an
end or two.
Lots of documentation.
Some old disks which may have readable software on them. I don't power these things
up, since they have power supplies that you can weld with, with 40-year-old capacitors on
them.
Is there anybody in striking distance of Philadelphia suburbs, who would consider buying
and picking up this collection?

No idea why this ended up in my spam folder, but replying just to get it
one more look as-if it needed any help ;-) I'm surprised he doesn't ebay
it to be honest. The last sentence, is that Rick asking or you Steven
asking?

That's a common gmail / yahoo thing. Ended up in my gmail spam folder too.

Good thing I'm not in Philadelphia to blow some money on that collection...

Word. I still want an IMSAI one of these days - but I wouldn't say no to
an Altair if it dropped in my lap. But I just paid tuition... so I'll just
play with my SWTPC 6800 for now. (Oh, I want a 6809, too.)

Hi,
If you are getting this, it is because you have expressed interest in my
old computers. Here are a lot of pictures, which will be pretty
self-explanatory I think. I think I got everything other than a few spare
8-inch drives and some boxes of software and documentation.
The Altair 8800, a very early one, 4-slot motherboard, 1K ram, ceramic CPU,
you will see: https://goo.gl/photos/3C1pzfwFoZ3koPgt9
IMSAI 8080 complete system, with monitor and drives
https://goo.gl/photos/KjeTN7FR4btah3QM9
A KIM-1 (alas Commodore not MOS) https://goo.gl/photos/JWHn5b8Bvy2g2xNu7
Original Apple ][, not a plus or c or anything. With Disk ][ controller,
and original color display. https://goo.gl/photos/H47sr7oZy6MrCpzJ8
Original IBM PC, original bios, no hard drive - 2 floppies. Aftermarket
keyboard and monitor. https://goo.gl/photos/nRE1aFrGvPKz2a647
A beautiful NorthStar Horizon, populated with all NorthStar boards, disk
drives, memory, controller etc. https://goo.gl/photos/B9tFYd1Nse2cHdBi8
I paired it with with the LSi terminal. This was the desirable terminal
back then: https://goo.gl/photos/jTkqP6jQhLDozF1HA
A very first gen TRS-80 with all the matching peripherals
https://goo.gl/photos/ct3ha8XMGEvLRaer6
A KAYPRO luggable with wordperfect keyboard overlay
https://goo.gl/photos/moUCaEeMARf1T94k9
A Cromemco, which was a pretty cool multi-user CP/M box that I programmed
on for one of my earliest programming gigs, just a shell though. But very
robust shell: https://goo.gl/photos/aLCg2AjgbCreCVND9
An NEC APC https://goo.gl/photos/YfDovSzaa73zCbVZ6 -- might not be that
interesting, a little later, but boots and runs CP/M. I worked on one
which is why I grabbed it.
Google Glass, with packaging and stuff
https://goo.gl/photos/dDyDG3uWJpQ2wsnQA
"Mario" chromebook. First chromebook ever. Works fine. Given to me by
GOOG (they were giving them to CIO's to gain feedback).

Some semi-random stuff. https://goo.gl/photos/edhbov7U6ezcFG3X7
