I acquired a Performa 580 today. OS 8.0 16 MB ram, still has 84 MB free in the HD (loaded with applications too). Case is decent shape with no cracks or broken corners. Amazing what some people leave on an abandoned computer....

I've heard flyback transformers make a high pitched noise before too.

It started life as a 128K but had the "memory upgrade" installed which consisted of a new logic board and back cover. I have a 512K that has this upgrade. Nice score BTW :)

I just entered yesterday so go for it :)

Scott and others as well, you may recall my posting of a Plus that appeared to be a prototype / pre-production sample before The Big Crash. I thought I would tag on to this post and see if anyone knows more about how these make it out to the general public etc. I think there have been other...

I just bought a USB turntable last week. Great to have the old vinyl but it will be nice to be able to load the music into the iPod :) Got it at Costco for C$138.00 which is the best price I have seen for these units. I haven't tried it yet due to some other ongoing projects.

Not for single ones. Lots of places online if you want to buy in bulk though :)

Not so random - they both came from the same school, likely there were several more there at one time that were closely numbered. :)

I have 2 SE/30 Macs. Serials are F10420PBK01 and F10421VOK01

I like old Commodore stuff too. I have one of those US*8 machines shown on krfkeith's link as well as the earlier US*3 in the ugly green color. A Commodore find I had a while ago http://68kmla.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3139&highlight=

Guys, here is a picture of my TRS-80 Pocket Computer. Sitting on top of my MacBook :)

I have a Plus case in the garage but it is a bit off color. Is it the front bezel that is broken on yours? I could strip the bezel off if you want it - you'd need to cover postage from Canada though.

I was in a thrift store today and found a TRS-80 Pocket Computer (PC-4) for $12.00. It has it's pouch so it's in good shape cosmetically and appears to work.

Thanks MacMan and jkoci - I put a 3v cheater on the PRAM terminals and it booted right up. System 7.5.3 Rev 2 and 36 MB RAM. 160 MB HDD. It has QuarkXPress 3.31 on it. I am looking forward to trying that out...

A Macintosh Color Display (Trinitron tube) and Apple Color Plus Display. Both are 14" screens.

No luck with doing that.

I got an LC 475 and an LCIII along with a Stylewriter II and two color monitors. Can't get any video from the 475 but the other one works great :)

Today I found OS/2 v 2.1 on 5.25" foppy as well as "Aces of the Pacific" which is some kind of flight simulator / war game (this one is still shrink wrapped!). Gotta love thrift shops :)

Both mine are Made in USA (Fremont) week 4 of 1991.
