This is a IBM Model M that was completely disassembled I picked up a few years ago. It would make a good parts keyboard, as it's pretty much just a case, membrane, most keycaps, and barrel plate. There are actually two barrel plates, one is a new one with the drainage channel cut off, the other...

I've got a few items that I'd like to get rid of! I'm not looking to get anything for this stuff, just looking to find them a new home. There are a couple of towers with motherboards (likely AMD), an AT case (without side panels), keyboards, a Packard Bell monochrome monitor, and a couple of...

I figured I'd make this reference for finding replacement RIFA filter caps. There is often some debate on what to replace filter capacitors with. These are by no means the only caps you can use, as long as it is X and not Y designated, you can use anything that is the same capacitance. These are...

Hopefully, someone can get their Mac II working with some of this information! I tried to document the steps and any snags that I had along the way. At our last library show, @DeanG brought his Macintosh II along, and it got me thinking about mine. So right after I got home and unloaded...

Here's a cheap Compudyne 386! Looks like it might have some battery damage, doesn't look too bad though. @Performa, I think you need this for your collection ;).

Anyone up for a challenge? This is an IBM 5160 that I picked up in a lot with some other IBM machines. Despite it's looks it's pretty complete, with the exception of a video card and a second floppy.

Here's a nice 5153 for $75 located in the Minneapolis area. Probably not too bad of a drive if someone really needed one, plus you don't have to worry about shipping!

Spotted this one eBay, an Apple IIgs that is full of Apple computer asset tags. Looks to have been owned by them at one time or another. It’s one of the first 50,000 units with Steve Wozniak’s signature on the front. Looks to have had a ROM 3 board swapped in too. Either way it’s a cool piece...

Someone has a Bell & Howell II Plus up on eBay here! Looks pretty rough, but I wonder what it'll go for.

I didn't pick up much at VCFMW this year, but I did find something that has been on my list for quite some time... Behold the IBM 5150! It fits in a little better on the desk than the Cordata did anyway.

These are super cool! Definitely something on my wishlist, I don't think I'd want to try having one of these shipped though. Maybe someday! The link to the listing is here.

This was part of a big lot of “barn find” computers I picked up a couple of years ago. It’s pretty rough, some keys are sticky, and it hasn’t been turned on. Before it goes to VCF, I figured I’d post it on here to see if anyone was interested!

I guess I've been pretty lucky with the Macintosh stuff that I've picked up over the past years. I've seen batteries leak, but I haven't really experienced it firsthand. Today was the end to that! I just got back from picking up some Macs, and unfortunately, we've got some battery leakage...

There is some interesting Atari stuff listed on here on Facebook in Eau Claire. Looks like a hard drive and a monitor. Pretty interesting stuff, and $50 doesn't seem too bad!

For those with a keen eye for Tandy stuff, this might look familiar! $400 is more than I would spend on a 386 SX, but still certainly interesting.

I've never really been a laptop guy, they're just a pain to work with (thanks to hidden screws and plastic snaps), and they usually have a slew of hard-to-find parts. However, there are some exceptions to that rule! :) The Compaq Contura is one of those! I picked this little guy up in a lot...

Well, it's gotta to the point where I've acquired a few XP PCs in a few pickups. I also have a few laptops. If anyone is interested, they can have them! There is a Dell, Acer, and I think a HP and Compaq. Not sure what the laptops are. I figured I'd see if anyone might be interested here, as I...

Does anyone have any use for it? It works, however, it doesn’t have the boot disks. It's free if anyone wants it. It's got a large printer as well.

Nice example of a Macintosh Plus for sale in the Appleton area! https://appleton.craigslist.org/sys/d/neenah-apple-mcintosh-plus-computer/7372527783.html

Maybe a little too new, but is there any interest in a iMac G5? It works good, and has a copy of panther on it. I have no use for it anymore, I used to use it for making floppies for older Macintosh software. Comes with keyboard and mouse.
