Like 5 early 128k/plus keyboards

10 ADB keyboards

Win 3.1 machine

4 SEs

1 SE/30

2 Pluses

PB 160 parts machine

PB 1400c

Apple scanner

Laserwriter

Bunch of parts

Huge box of scsi cables and stuff

Manuals

IIx

2 IIsis

Quadra 700 with four feet

There was more but I couldn't fit it all.

This is the haul you read and dream about. Found it just as I was saying why can't this stuff happen to me...

 

[PB145B]

8-o Congratulations! That is one sweet haul!!!

 

[EvieSigma]

Damn, and to think there's even more!

 

[Johnnya101]

He's in northern VT. Had two blue imacs, blue imac keyboard, bunch of performas, a power Mac 7200, loads of CRTs (had one of those huge late 80s apple ones), power computing clone with keyboard, stuff like that. I can give contact info to anyone interested.

Might even try and go back to get more...

 

[Jinnai]

I can't help but be a little jealous of the IIx! Think any of the monitors were the smaller Macintosh ones? There is definitely a dearth of those here in Colorado ever since I misguidedly gave away the like 3 I had...

 

[Johnnya101]

One of the monitors was a smashed later spindler plastic type monitor. AppleVision maybe? Another was the one with built in speakers. The only older apple monitor was I believe some sort of late 80s 21" apple monitor. It was gigantic. It was facing a wall. Im not usually interested in CRTs so I didnt bother checking it out. Is... was that something I should have checked out? Or is that just another old common crt? There were multiple generic CRTs too.

Might be able to go back in a month or two. Dont think he seemed like the rest would be sold anytime soon.

Just updated my signature. LOL. So many now. Think Ill go slow and refurbish one at a time. Two of the SEs look like they were destined to be for parts, but logic boards are common and cheap (They were missing), so might try and salvage them. One SE/30 in the mix. Maybe to continue my luck it will have a micron xceed. Got a stack of scsi cd roms and hard drives too Snagged two power supplies as well. Ones for a Mac II... The other looks like its for a pizza box mac or something. Huge amount of SCSI cables followed me home too, and finally got an elusive powerbook scsi adapter. Some cables still unopened. Got a new in box joystick too. Grabbed all the keyboards I could find... If anyone needs one, you know who to ask. Bunch of extendeds and old style keyboards. Got an original 128/512k keyboard too. And a IIGS system saver. And a parts imagebanger II. Ill try and post the rest tomorrow. Lots. Of. Stuff.

Excited about the OneScanner. Never see those for sale. Cant wait to have an 80s office setup with my onescanner, laserwriter, SE/30, stack of hard drives and cd roms, etc. Lol.

If anyone has the following, let me know...

SE logic boards

SE case screws

Mac II drive plate screws (And maybe more II parts...?)

128/512/Plus keyboard keys and one switch (One missing key and two broken switches)

edit again: Also grabbed some sort of ethernet adapter out of a box. It looked like it was a serial plug with a beige box and two either phone jacks or ethernet ports...? Is that anything that will make getting these online easier?

 

[Jinnai]

Well, I'm a little biased - I love CRTs in general. I think one with built-in speakers would be absolutely worth getting. Also, as I've said before, if you see a 9" SVGA CRT please consider getting it on my behalf.

I have a ~1996 Performa that needs a monitor, and I'd prefer an Apple monitor, any model that's 16" or smaller should be fine.

Sound like a nice haul. If the SE/30 has an xceed I'll die :lol:  have you seen the internal hard drive bracket for the Mac Plus yet?

By hard drives, do you mean external SCSI boxes, or internal?

 

[Johnnya101]

SCSI external boxes!!! Two. Havent looked at them closely yet. Looked aftermarket though. Have a real neat Lacie SCSI CD ROM too. Its huge. A cube. Maybe it has a built in hard drive too.

No Plus hard drive brackets yet. I do have one other plus I havent looked at though... Maybe Ill get lucky.

Its a little far for getting one monitor. If I go back, Ill let you know. Annnndddd of course there was a 9" CRT (Or smaller even). Cute little white portable one with a keyboard. Some sort of portable terminal? DIdnt see if it was vga though.

Think this means trip #2 needs to happen. I can pick up the power computing thing,  pizza boxes, maybe a couple crts.

 

[TechEdison]

WOAH! This is quite a haul!

Edit:

The icing on the cake would be if that 160 had a larger hard drive or a ram upgrade! It would go nicely with the one you just bought from me.

Edit2:

And a few of those machines look like they've never seen sunlight. This is quite a neat addition to your collection.

 

[Johnnya101]

Sadly, the 160 is a parts machine. Has a sticky note that mentions missing battery and floppy drive, bad screen, etc. Can swap out the broken trackpad at the very least.

 

[TechEdison]

Does it have the back door?

Even as a parts machine it'll definitely be useful. Wonder if the trackball holder is even intact..

 

[Johnnya101]

Havent even bothered to open it up yet. Have to unpack tomorrow and will see. That would be great if it had a door...

PS... Caps finally kicked it in the 160 I got from you. Blue screen. Gotta recap.

 

[TechEdison]

Ah dang sorry to hear it didn't last long. At least it will be a nice project then

 

[Jinnai]

need me to recap it? 

Don't worry about a 9" screen if it's a terminal. My electronics engineering prowess is absolutely not high enough to make use of one - I just need one with a VGA connector to plug into an older Mac or Mini-ITX PC board.

 

[Johnnya101]

[AwkwardPotato]

Awesome haul!

IIx (if anyone has the screws for the floppy/hard drive chassis, let me know)

I don't have any spares, but I can measure the ones in my IIx so you can find new ones, if you want.

 

[Johnnya101]

That's fine, I've got some in my IIfx too. Just was wondering if anyone had spares or something.

New exciting update!

One SE is alive again.

Aaaaandd.... The 1400cs has... You ready... A nupower (or however it's spelt) G3 upgrade and what appears to be max ram! Now I just need a power adapter. Are new ones sold at least?

 

[CC_333]

IIx (if anyone has the screws for the floppy/hard drive chassis, let me know)

I might have some. Also might have a set of Compact Mac screws (for which model do you need them?)

5x Pre ADB keyboards. (One is the early version with no num pad)

3x Pre ADB mice

2x Plus (one nice working one, other is dirty but looks like it will work)

Looks like you won't be needing mine then!

Now I just need a power adapter. Are new ones sold at least?

I know you can get aftermarket 1400 power adapters on eBay from China that are supposedly compatible, but personally I don't really trust those. Don't limit yourself to just looking for a 1400 adapter though, the PowerBook G3's used a compatible adapter (some of the iBook "yo-yo" ones were compatible but some aren't).
