I was contacted by a person in charge of liquidating the assets of an old school. They
recently purchesed an old school building for other purposes, and found what they describe
as a large amount of old microcomputers in storage there. They don't want them, and
want to take offers for them. It sounds like they will take a "token donation"
for a system or systems or maybe the whole lot.
All I know at this point is that most of the systems are Commodore Pet, Commodore
superPet, and TRS-80. I'd be suprised if there wasn't a bunch of apples there too,
and lord knows what else. Location is Arizona.
So far, they have asked that I be a single point of contact so they don't get
innundated with calls. If anyone is interested, Please email me asap or they will wind up
on the junk heap.
Most importantly, are any interested list members in AZ (brisbane I think was the city)
and could thus do a look-see, and maybe organize shipping, etc?
Let me know!

It's actually in Bisbee, which is about 15 miles north of Mexico and a
hundred fifty or so west of New Mexico. In other words, it's in the
Middle of Nowhere :)
These guys have been trying to find takers for a while now, and dare I say
they are a bit clueless. I gave up trying to work with them after the
third time they e-mailed me the list of items in some proprietary word
processor format that I couldn't decode. I guess they've never heard of
plain text (even though I asked them twice to send it as such :) I've
tried calling a couple times but never connected over the phone, so I gave
up.
The big problem is going to be shipping. I spent some time down there a
few years back working at a customer site, and getting stuff shipped in
was a hassle. UPS and Fedex only delivered a couple times a week back
then. Perhaps service has improved some but I doubt it. The nearest big
town is Douglas, about 20-25 miles to the east on the Mexican border.
The only thing of real interest for me was a SuperPET. They do have some
nice stuff though, including some PETs and S-100 machines, and it would be
a damn shame if they ended up throwing everything out. Probably the
easiest thing is for someone to rent a truck and drive out there and load
it all up. A lot of the expense could be recouped by selling the stuff
here on the list or on eBay. But I really don't think there is enough
there to justify the expense monetarily.
Here's the list again in case you missed it the first time:

Here is a fairly complete list of the old computer stuff that we have
which is available to the highest bid.
We are a non-profit 501 (c)(3) educational institution, we have
just obtained a old elementary school which was being used by
the school district to store old things from every school, so
there is a large variety of things. We don^Òt know their condition
exactly, or whether they work. Sold in ^Óas is^Ô condition and you
pay the shipping (or come get them). We really need a roof -
would trade the whole lot to a roofer for a roof, or piece it
out to whom ever would love it.

Well it would be fun to have PETs...but at those prices...
Blame it on ebay I guess...(I always do now when I see ridiculous prices for
older computers...)
Or it's the case of someone not knowing what this kinda stuff is
worth...like seeing some Mac LCs at a garage sale for $300 last summer for
me...probably more ebay's fault...
I wont be paying those prices for these systems - ever...sorry...

Woof! I just got an LC (and an LC III) for $5, and the only reason I
picked it up was the Apple II card inside (in the PDS slot).
They can "need a roof" all they want, but they are going to have to look
elsewhere for the money.

Its really very sad, maybe the worst of collecting. People who don't have
much if any clue about computers, end up with a major pile of semivaluable
old computers and think they can now retire on the proceeds because some
vaguely similar item once sold on ebay, or somebody told them "that stuff
sells for a bundle on the internet". When I run into it, the experience is
so stressfull, because its a lose/lose situation. The only thing worse is
the "I want $1000, or it all goes in the dumpster" guys.

So far, they have asked that I be a single point of

I'd probably be interested in some of that stuff. Especially TRS-80s.

Someone could fly into Tuscon with a cheap ticket, rent a UHaul and drive

Still, I don't think there's enough there of interest to go through all

The basic problem is that they have "maybe"
$50 to $100 auction value of
junk located in the boonies of Arizona, and hope to get a school roof for
it, value maybe $20,000 or more.
In that case, I can see I would be sized up as gold mine material. :-P

More info on that bunch of micros (nonpc) out in arizona. I talked to the
person out there again and they agreed to let me post their direct email
address. It is fnweird(a)earthlink.net
There's sooooo much I could say about that email address, but I'll just
leave that one alone ;)
Anyways... it is definitely arizona, not australia. I forget the city name,
but the city name "sounds" like brisbane or something like that. Also, I
would really just prefer to stay out of this one - so if anyone contacted me
recently (or wants more info now & in the future) please refer to the above
email address instead of me.
My opinion is they have too high of a value in mind on these systems.
They're definitely selling them 1zies 2zies, you don't have to buy the whole
lot. The superpets seem to command the most money, she said she's gotten
about 4 takers so far at $200 each. The apple/trs-80 stuff she was talking
from $50 to $150 (sounded like she was hoping for the
high end). That sounds
like too much money to me, but - for someone on this list
that is desperate
to add that last missing system to their collection, maybe it would be worth
it. Here's more info (very sketchy) on what they have...(bear in mind this
stuff is totally out of my area, so pardon any obvious typos or
nomenclature).

New subject: TI Minicomputer? (Was: large load (cont))
Quoting Jay West <west(a)tseinc.com>om>:
There there was some huge texas intruments thingy, she
said it was
a minicomputer??
She may be correct, you never know. My parents have tought high
school math and science for years, and when I was in grade school,
I ended up hanging around at the high school nearly every day after
school for several years. The following story is from, roughly, my
fifth and sixth grade years (1989-1991 or so).
At the time, the school had a bunch of Apple IIe and IIc machines
(I have one of the IIes) and some TI-99/4As. Now, the TIs were the
cooler machines to me, at least because they were the most
mysterious. The elderly computer teacher didn't know how to use
them, so they just sat there, and no one was ever taught how to use
them. I figured out where the cartridges were and how to play some
games on them (I liked this skiing game I believe), but not even I
investigated what lay beyond. For that mistake, I paid dearly.
What lay beyond was, I suspect, a TI minicomputer. On the floor at
the right end of the table that had the 99/4As was a single tall
cabinet, just the right size and proportions to have been a
six-foot rack cabinet. The cabinet was black, and it had a black
metal door (I believe) over the entire front that kept whatever was
inside safe from meddling students. I don't know what was on the
back, as it was pushed up against a wall. The following evidence
supports the theory that it was a minicomputer:
(1) The teacher told me it was a big, old computer that the 99/4As
connected to in some way (terminals?). She *may* have used the
word 'mainframe'.
(2) On the day it was removed (see below), I saw a disk pack. The
teacher told me it was a hard disk platter, and that's how hard
disks used to work -- with removable platters. I held the pack,
ooed and ahhed over it for a few seconds, and gave it back to the
teacher. My PC at home had a full-height 5.25" 10MB IBM hard
drive, and I was amazed at how big the pack was (probably 14").
(3) Some of the 5.25" floppies that were used in the Apple IIs had
"AT&T UNIX System V" labels on them. The labels were frequently
covered over by a white paper label with the disk's real contents
scribbled in the teacher's chaotic hand.
Now for the sad part. One day when school was out after the sixth
grade, I happened to be hanging out at the high school while my
parents did their yearly inventory. Naturally, I headed over to
the computer lab to play some Mystery Museum or some game like
that. When I got there, they were in the process of removing
every computer in the room. I was dismayed, but my fears were
relieved when I was told that they were putting in a pile of new
Macintoshes (whatever they were) and that they would be cooler
and more fun than the Apples and TIs. It was at this time that I
was given the disk pack to inspect. If I could have only seen the
future for a split second, I would have offered them money for the
machine and snatched it right up. Alas, no revelation came, and
I watched them as they carted the cabinet down the hall. I never
saw the machine again. Actually, I never saw the machine at all.
Its door was always shut, and the teacher always referred to it
fearfully ("Oh, you don't want to mess with that..."). It sat
there and was never used, and then one day it left forever.
A year or so ago, I went back there and searched the entire
school for it, but it was nowhere to be found. One maintainence
worker told me that it had been in his building for several years,
and he had recently taken it in his truck and dumped it into some
farmer's ravine a few miles out of town.
What the heck was that thing? Was there ever a TI minicomputer
that used 99/4As as terminals?

I have a dim recollection of some kind of 990 used basically as a file
server for cartridge software that was downloaded to a special GRAM
cartridge, I think, on the 4A. Something along those lines. It was also
used at one or more of the early '80s CES shows, if I'm not mistaken.
Not sure if it was a serial data link or what, but I think the cartridge
titles showed up on the console menu screen. I may be confusing some of
this with the hard disk setup for the 4A that TI used internally.
You don't suppose you could get that maintenance guy to show you where

Ack! Pfft! Grrrr! I just found out that the "farmer's ravine" story
was a myth, and that the machine was sold to a guy a few towns away
to be scrapped. I still trying to find out what happened to the 99s.

You don't suppose you could get that
maintenance guy to show you
where the machine is and check if there are any salvageable parts,
if you get a chance, do you?
I'll check and get back to you.

I wonder if it was actually destroyed or not? (Yes, folks, I will hound
something to the bitter, or not, end. Only way to find out.)
