This is my first of many posts that I will make about this sale.
I am liquidating a large warehouse filled with vintage computers including
Apple, DEC, IBM, Commodore, Tandy/Radio Shack, HP, and more. Many items are
currently inaccessible due to large piles of junk and video games.
So far, I have found:
Apple Lisa 2
Tandy 6000 HD
IBM 5251 Keyboard
MicroVAX 3900 (currently inaccessible)
MicroVAX II (currently inaccessible)
Cromemco System One
Ohio Scientific Challenger 2p
Lots of Apple II series
IBM 5110
Piles of VT100s
Even more VT220, VT320
Northstar Advantage
Osborne 1
Various Kaypros
PC clones
Commodore B-Series
Just about every kind of TRS-80
IBM XT with monitor in box
NeXT cube
Almost every type of Macintosh
Amigas
IBM PS/2 P70
HP 3000 (inaccessible)
1970s HP computers
Boxes filled with Cromemco and Northstar manuals
A pallet of 1980s PC clones (inaccessible)
Heaps of CRT monitors
Mechanical Keyboards
At least 20 Apple Extended Keyboard II's
I have barely scratched the surface of the warehouse, and will keep you
updated when I find more items, or am able to move the large systems.
The DEC terminals are not yet for sale, since I have not yet found the
keyboards.
I am not taking offers on the entire warehouse at this time.

Is it just VT100/220/320, or are there other models? Any DEC WPS keyboards (especially
for a VT420)?
Also, are there by any chance any Honeywell terminals?

In the case of Tony D, does it works sending SMS messages from US to a
UK/Europe mobile phone and vv ??
It works between GSM/4G phones in Europe but to a US number ?

Yes I can send text messages internationally for free though my provider.
If you can't, sign up for a voip provider that does it. I use Google Voice
and VoIP.ms which can both do it over the internet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_codes_713,_281,_346,_and_832
indicates the phone number is part of the Houston, Texas area code overlay structure.
A reasonable question might be whether any of the systems have suffered water damage.
Understood area codes and geographical locations don?t always correlate in any meaningful
way, but I thought I?d pass that on just in case.

Thomas,
I'm interested in anything HP, SGI, early Sun, and pre-VAX DEC. Do you have
any photos? What kind of condition is most of this stuff in? I've been
thinking about visiting Computer Reset with a box truck this fall. Think I
could stop by?
Many thanks,
Kyle

Computer Reset was in Dallas. This one is in Houston. Totally different

Thanks for the clarification - they're not too far, and this guy posted
photos of a few items on Facebook which appeared to have been taken in a
small garage - so there was the possibility that there was actually no "new
warehouse" and this is just a van full of stuff that they hauled out of CR
recently and are trying to resell.

Update on the vintage computer warehouse:
I have found some very rare and interesting items inside the warehouse.
These include a Systems Engineering Laboratories SEL-810 mainframe from
about 1967, along with its Teletype model 33 ASR.
I have also identified some of the IBM punch-card machines. There are two
IBM 552 Interpreters, manufactured between 1937 and 1957, as well as an IBM
083 Card Sorter.
Additionally, there is a complete Alpha Micro system with the disk drive.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
