When I Get A Round Tuit . . .
Some of the accumulation of
old PCs I might get around to fixing one day.
Over the last 7+ years I've repaired and sold ~120 old PCs I'd collected
over the last 25 years, but I've kind of lost my motivation to continue.
I think there are about 150 (ish) left to do (the number has grown
a bit in the last couple of years as I keep collecting odds'n'sods).
On the upside, my kids have the local dumpster supplier on speed dial.

They've taken
over the garage . . .
There are 4 rows of shelving with PCs, but only the top 2 are visible on the left wall.
I've really got no idea what's hiding on the two bottom shelves on the left wall - most
likely old stuff I collected well over 25 years ago now, so probably 286's and 386's.

The Acorn and MACs work, not
sure about the 286.
Caps in all the compact MACs
have carked it.
The Amstrad PCW was working
OK when last checked - the CPC 6128 has a PSU issue (maybe
caps).
Another glimpse of shelf #2,
looks like a group of 286's.
A box of old PC keyboards
including a few early IBMs.
The Acorn works, I just never
got around to putting the cover back on.
Most of the boxes on the
table are floppy disks, including 8".
More old white CRTs - the
boxes these are on and others near them are full of car sales
brochures, mostly AU models.
100 or so small IDE drives.
Shelf #3, probably 386
& 486
A peek at shelf #2
A box of MAC keyboards and
mice.
Another glimpse of the top of
shelf 2
PC stuff still boxed from a
previous move
Mainly boxes of floppy disks
on this table, including 8" new and used
Some leftovers from
the motoring magazines pile - thought I got rid of all these.
Misc cards etc.
A 286 case with a 386 M/B
sitting on top of another 286 (cases behind), both working
Dabbled in bookbinding, so
there are 40 (or 50+) sets of brass and lead type
plus accroutements and finishing tools.
The workspace in the garage -
most boxes under the shelf are full of car sales brochures.
And there's quite a lot of PC
spare parts in the house - although slightly more organised..
Plus the odd MAC or two.
And 3 Toshiba
luggables and a DataMini 386 luggable, all working.
