I found a Powerbook 1400c (Active matrix! and 133Mhz) at the recycler today. It's in rough shape, the screen has a couple dents and it's scuffed. but the really bizzare thing is this: Whoever disassembled this thing last must have been on drugs or something when they put the Keyboard back on...

Another Find. This time I've found a G4 Sawtooth Motherboard. No RAM or CPU, but I know where I can source a CPU from. This will probably end up in my B&W G3 as an upgrade

I received my Xerox 820-II in the mail today, all the way from a good friend and fellow collector in California. Firstly, the Xerox 820 is not a printer, it's a very old computer from Xerox. You can read about it here: http://www.old-computers.com/museum/photos.asp?t=1&c=487&st=1 12"...

Well, going through a pile of stuff from the recycler, I found what I think is a 7500 motherboard. It matches the pictures I've seen on the internet of it (it also says TNT on the board). I also found the processor card (PPC 604e) a week earlier, as matching floppy and hard drives for it. It has...

Hello to everyone, As promised, I'm doing updates every wednesday on wha I pull out of the Recycler.See this thread for details: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9187 Anyhow, Today I've pulled out a great deal of stuff. Here's what I got: The Real prize: 1 x DEC RAID array. It's 4 feet tall, and FULL...

Well, it seems I'm on a roll lately as far as getting computer's goes. Today I managed to get the following from a guy who was moving. He listed it on Kijiji, so i pounced on it. I got it all for a flat price of $50, since it wouldn't all fit in his new house (This is a rough list, I haven't...

I've received a Macintosh Classic from a good friend of mine. He's a collector too, and once intended to get into Vintage Macs. Sadly this never happened (he ended up getting into Commodore, as well as other stuff, though this is just fine). It's in a Basic configuration, with 2MB of RAM, and a...

Well, a friend and I have made a deal with a local charity (Computers for kids, they put together computers for the less fortunate....and children too, apparently). They receive a lot of stuff from Donations, but half of it they can't use, so they recycle it. But, they don't have neough time to...

I've picked up a couple of Sun Microsystems workstations from a friend of mine. 1 is a SparcStation 2, and the other is a Sparc Ultra 5. The Ultra 5 has no hard disk, but everything else is there, including 64MB of RAM (The Ultra 5 also has a name! It's "Lyra", and it's clearly emblazoned on...

Went to the Recycler again, this time I picked up a Powerbook 520c, for free. It's in nice shape, except for the top cover, which is badly scratched. There's also a small hole in the top (The only reason it's scratched/Holed is because it got literally thrown into a recycling heap)

Well, in addition to the iMac I picked up, I also scored a number of SCSI items. -1 LaCie Jaz Drive (No cartridges) -1 Compaq 20/40GB DLT drive (Really big, and in nice shape) -1 Yamaha external CD-Writer -1 Optimac 160MB External SCSI hard disk -1 LaCie 36GB (Seagate Cheetah 10K RPM drive...

Went to the local Recycler/Charity today. Got a hold of a beat-up iMac G3 (For Free). It's one of those late model Snow-colored ones. It's 500Mhz, has 640MB (I think) of RAM, and a Hard disk (which seems to be dead, or lacks a system). It boots to a "Can't find system" icon. It's in fair shape...

Attention Brazilian Members! I have found 2 Macintosh computers in São Paulo that may be of interest to you. I have found a Quadra 950 and a 5200/75 in a Shop downtown. I can't take them back with me though, too heavy. Any Collectors here in Brazil (Specifically in Sâo Paulo), now is your...

Greetings from Brazil! I'm traveling down here, and took the time to take a look in the Sao Paulo Electronics District. Found some things: -a Performa 6230CD (With the funky Video-in card and MPRG decoder). Not too remarkable, but proudly proclaims "Feito em Brasil" ("Made in Brazil") on it...

Hola, I stopped at a local computer recycler. In the back of the place there's an area full of older computer hardware. You can essentially pick through the piles and buy anything you find. No Apple Stuff though... After some diggingI found an Epson Equity Ie (an old PC, 8088 era) under some...
