Nice old geiger counter.

But now I'm curious what's in the acrade cab, and what's up with what appears to be several *black* Apple-2 computers?

Plus now I just remembered http://members.aol.com/MJMahon/Applecrate.html, a rather interesting application of several Apple-2 computers. Even plays music. (A couple mp3s of it playing music are linked to from http://members.aol.com/MJMahon/...)

The Bell&Howell Apple II are worth more than the IIes. I thinks those were acquired for the most part after the sale of the IIes. Picked up my geiger counter at a Hamfest, why not sure. Mike J Mahon, nice friendly person. Had many phone conversations with him. I consider him a friend.

I'm curious about the arcade cabinet, too. And what's in the 5 gallon buckets? Really, last there there were a few areas at CHM that didn't look too different. The warehouse at Moffett field was a lot worse - but the stuff was a little cooler (SAGE, robots from Stanford, the Whirlwind - like that). I should really go over to the new warehouse and take some pictures.

I believe all of the buckets are filled with Apple items. Just a few pieces of software and manuals. Not sure about the arcade cabinet. He did mange to sell off a lot of his big (sized) items to make room.
Yes pictures are always nice.

Take care

COuld you please reduce the width of the 4th photo or put it behind a cut? It's messing up my friends page by making it too wide, and I'm having to scroll back and forth to read the text entries, which is a pain. Makes me dizzy! Thanks.

If they eye ofends thee then pluck it out. Have removed it until I have time to resize and upload it.

Take Care

I am not sure how to do that. I guess It will have to be resized, then reuploaded. Will try and check it out later.

Take Care

I had one of those 65 in 1 electronics kits from Radio Shack back in the day.
Oh, the wide picture does affect my friends page also.

That just made me think of Radio Shacks free battery a month cards..

You could probably become an ebay merchant and make a small fortune.

Maybe I should too. I have a bunch of hard drives from old PS/2 models, proprietary of course. I wonder if anyone would take them.

discopanda January 9 2008, 17:46:57 UTC

Hmm, might be useful. Got any PS/2 FDDs too? (Actually, I've been meaning to make some standard>PS/2 FDD adapters since I heard they're possible. Those old PS/2 FDDs aren't getting any newer...)

I probably shouldn't even mention my big Box-'O-Model-M-Keyboards. (Model M FTW!)

Someday I need to hunt down an image for the 50Z reference disk again, too...

brezhnev January 10 2008, 03:50:33 UTC

No, just hard drives there -- somebody gave away a box of them, and now I have had them like since forever. Now the only thing I can think to do is ebay or Drivesavers. I'm trying to reduce the stuff I don't use.

They're probably from model 30s and 50Zs -- now those were a real triparooney! You'll probably find the reference disk on IBM's site.
