Hi all! Relatively new guy here, joining only this last January, as I started to shop and acquire the beginnings of my vintage collection. Kinda went all out for a while, and now am slowing down and considering what stays and what goes long run. So the purpose of this thread, inspired by @volvo242gt 's thread I ran across, is to track the collection from the beginning, and conclude with a current inventory, and then update the thread to current as things change. So, here is how thing started:
Macintosh SE modded to SE/30
Beige Power Mac 266 MHz, fully working, PRAM battery and holder replaced, recapped. (Buffalo G3 Accelerator 500 MHz to be installed, along with maxing out RAM)
Apple IIe (with various floppy drives/peripherals, library of computer and program literature, software on floppies)
Blue and White PowerMac G3 400 MHz. (
Incoming Second Beige PowerMac G3 with apparent nice cosmetics to possibly use for parts to build one centerpiece Beige G3, still looking for "Wings" AV personality card, working but needs restoration or will be used for parts.
Macintosh Color Display M1212 13 inch "Trinitron". Working, will need to be recapped/serviced.
Macintosh Performa Plus Color Display 14 inch. Working, likely will need to be recapped/serviced
Performa 6360 working well. PRAM batterie removed.
Quicksilver PowerMac, working well.
Apple Studio Display M4551 (first gen 15" flat screen)
Couple more 15" and 17" Apple Cinema displays with hingers in various states of repair
(Various 3400/3500, would like to end up with a couple good working machines and perhaps will sell others if they can be restored)
Powerbook 3400c 180 MHz working, decent cosmetic missing the back door
Incoming Powerbook 3400c incoming with full doors, non functional display, thinking it is 200 MHz but not sure yet
Incoming Powerbook 3500 (Kanga) times two. One with stock RAM, good excellent cosmetics, 20x CD drive, one working fully, Zip drive with broken trim, pretty good cosmetics, 160MB total RAM.
ImageWriter II times too, status other than powers on unknown.
Would like a G3 iMac, slot loading 400 MHz with working CD drive, indigo, purple or flower power, and G4 either 17 inch or 20 inch
Also will consider adding an air-cooled dual G5 (or two) and try to fashion a good server set up to ultimately reduce or eradicate reliance on the cloud. Need to learn more about that.
That's it at this point.
