Huge vintage computer score!
Posted by: Ultimategamer87 on 2016-10-12 10:37:48
Just scored an apple iie with 2 monitors and a duodisk, a working macintosh se/30, a nonworking macintosh se (sadly ), an apple 400k external floppy drive, an atari 400, an atari 800xl with 1050 external floppy drive, a tandy color computer model 2,a texas instruments 99/4a, and a commodore 128! I only paid $130 for all of it!!

I forgot to mention the macintosh se shown in the picture is actually a macintosh se/30, but in a se case. 🙂

I knew that looked funny... |)

the macintosh se30 in a se case, are you sure it wasnt an upgrade. IIRC they sold upgrade kits for upgrading a se to a se/30. anyone want to chime in on that? Nice score dude. Im very envious of you right now 🙂

I opened up the macintosh se to find a 40mb hard drive,and a macintosh se/30 motherboard with 8mb of ram. Luckily though, the battery has not exploded and all the capacitors have not leaked. Although i think i might have to replace all the capacitors because when i start up the machine, the sound works but its really quiet.

Congrats on the haul!  Always liked how clean a //e with a DuoDisk looks.

Quiet/no sound is one of the most prevalent warnings that the original caps need to be replaced pronto.

That's a great cross-section of vintage computers.  Someone must have let go of their collection and is an insta-collection.  Nice haul!

Which computer do you want? And what computer do you want to trade me?
