Today, I was fortunate enough to be able to visit Adam Rosen’s former residence for the flea market. Everything there was listed as not worth selling, and everything was available for free. Personally, I was thrilled to walk away with the following (machines were listed as not working):
-IIfx
-Power Mac G4 Server
-Multiple MacWrite/Project boxed sets, disks and tapes intact. System 6.0.8 boxed.
- About 12 1.4 MB/800k auto inject Sony drives. Unknown as to function.
-Four 400k drives (probably don’t work) as well as two empty 400k drive cases.
-Two not so great shape HD20 SCs.
-Various ADB keyboards.
-One original Mac keyboard, and two number pads.
-About 10 original phone jack serial keyboard cords.
-M0100 mouse with original fat connector.
-Mac Portable power adapter.
- PowerBook monitor adapters (about five).
- PowerMac AudioVision adapters.
-About 10 Mac 128k/512k/Plus/SE logic boards in various states (I’ll bet all need repairs).
-One SE/30 logic board which appears to have been re-capped, must have some sort of issue.
-Radius NuBus care of some sort.
-Various Apple-branded cables.
- Two boxes of Apple disks and CDs, including a ton of Apple Sales Resource disks.
-Every volume of Inside Macintosh.
-The last Larry Pina books I didn’t have.
-ResEdit reference book, second edition of Family Hardware, etc, etc.
Also not pictured
- Six compact Mac 9” CRTs (all appear intact).
- Seven or eight Mac 128k-Plus and SE logic boards and power supplies.
In all my life, I’ve never come across a more awesome or cool pile of stuff that was “not worth listing for sale” and was otherwise destined for the dump!
Over the next few weeks, I’ll probably need help figuring out what some of this stuff is.
Here’s hoping my wife doesn’t kill me...
