I’m at work and we are ‘cleaning house’ of our old equipment and junk today. I’m tossing old 386’s and monitors, floppy drives and all kinds of dust covered relics into the pile. Old test and measurement equipment, some TUBE stuff!................

Hey you guys, don’t just blindly trash that old stuff into the dumps. Some of it is valuable to us collectors of vintage computers. I recently sold a vintage Apple motherboard for $300 (could have got twice that but it cost me nothing because I originally bought 16 of them for only $10 total). Guys are buying vintage chips and tubes for big bucks. Too many are being recycled as scrap, depleting what’s left for collectors.
