I'm continually thinning this accumulation of mine.
Anyone have anything to trade for a Tandy 2000 sans
monitor (but all of mine have the color graphics option).

Similarly, I have a 2000HD machine with VM1 and color graphics card that I'd
be willing to trade for KIM-1 stuff. This one (just like my other one) has a
flaky hard drive controller. Drive has lots of software on it but it only
boots 1/3 of the time.

I bought two of them. One is yellowed and the other is pristine white. Both
have flaky hard disk systems but good color cards. I even bought an Atari
color monitor but I haven't made up a cable for it to connect to the color
card.
I would have bought only one if the first one was the white one. I figured I
could sell/trade the other. In fact, I'd trade the not-so-good-looking-one
for an external HD that I could maybe get to work. I even bought a spare
internal MFM drive but I can't get it to work. The controllers stink on ice.
Once I reach a frustration level, if it's non-core, it gets jettisoned.

I worked for them for 5-years during that period (1984-89), and I do have a
heart. No dumpster, just trade or $$$ for a good home.

So then why didn't you buy one during their big
sell-off? Somehow, I was out of the loop at that
particular period, and missed it. BNITB T2K's were
going for $200.
It was too long before it that the Computer Center
salesmen, one of which was in Bayshore right on
Sunrise Hwy., stopped calling them "50% compatibles",
and reverted to the phrase "10% compatible". Heck they
weren't even that!

Too funny. Well, at the time I didn't know the value of an old machine. We
used them in the stores for the SOS system (after they decommissioned the
Model III's) and before they moved to Xenix on Tandy 3000's with multiple
serial ports. The machines behind the counter were neutered 1000TL machines.
Definitely home grown system like the others. I remember going from store to
store in Nassau County helping the more clueless store managers setup and
install the system. It literally came out of Fort Worth as a kit of boxes
based on the store size. Xenix was delivered on a DC-60 (or DC-100) tape and
you booted a floppy and, I would guess, mount and dd the files to the HD.
