Hi,
I run the website http://oldcomputers.net
I get a lot of old computer systems offered to me for cheap or free, but most I don't
want - too big, or too far away to pay shipping.
A while back I asked for other collectors who would be receptive to these orphaned
systems, and over 60 people have signed-up so far!
But entire parts of the US are still open - the East coast is covered pretty well, but
west of the Mississippi River these is almost no one until the coast. I've got Nathan
in Iowa, Richard in SLC, but that's about it.
Send me your name, email, and what you collect, and I'll try to get you some good
stuff (some people got some REALLY good stuff).
Thanks-
Steven Stengel

I don't know if you saw me raise my hand, but I'd be willing to drive anywhere
between Portland/Seattle and western Montana/Idaho for stuff..

No idea who you have signed up on the west coast but I'm in the San
Francisco Bay area and could acquire items in CA and OR if need be.

You realize that sounds a bit like a threat! ;-)
Personally I'm on the other side of the fence. I have to much gear already.

I've
got Nathan in Iowa, Richard in SLC, but
that's about
it.
Send me your name, email, and what you collect, and
I'll try to get you
some
good stuff (some people got some REALLY good
stuff).

Wouldn't it be nifty to have a published list that people can find via
Google/Bing/Yaddasearch when they're looking to find a new home for
classic gear? Bill Yakowenko used to maintain such a list
(http://www.cs.unc.edu/~yakowenk/classiccmp/ccrs_list.html
<http://www.cs.unc.edu/%7Eyakowenk/classiccmp/ccrs_list.html>) and I
know I received several fruitful inquiries from it. Not clear how
actively Bill's been maintaining it the past few years, though...
Not trying to take anything away from your efforts, Steve, direct
personal referrals are generally going to be higher quality. It's just
been bothering me as I tried to remember where that list was and who had
been maintaining it.
Thoughts? This is something that could be linked to from all our many
different retrocomputing, collecting, and museum sites, which would then
drive it up in most search results - giving us a slightly better chance
to save more machines.

In Australia, I maintain this list as I come across people:

Hi,
I run the website http://oldcomputers.net
I get a lot of old computer systems offered to me for cheap or free, but most I don't
want - too big, or too far away to pay shipping.
A while back I asked for other collectors who would be receptive to these orphaned
systems, and over 60 people have signed-up so far!

I think I'm already on the list, but just to be sure, I collect DEC,
but can help ship almost anything in east centeral Illinois. Is the
list viewable?
Thanks, Paul

Please add Toronto, Ontario, Canada to your list.
While my primary interest is a PDP-11 Qbus system,
I will attempt to help co-ordinate any other rescues
for individuals who have other interests.
