Here is a museum for old computers

www.obsoletecomputermuseum.org


Beautiful ones all gathered there... I wonder if any are still in use??

 

I can see myself spending hours on this site.

 

Last night, I had a dream that I found a Commodore 64 in a thrift store. I grabbed it and headed straight to the cash.

 

I love my C64 (First computer I got good in basic with)

 

Do You Still Have It.....???



Cheers Glen.

 

Yup buddy I sure do.....Maybe sometime you can come over Glen and we can play

 

2 tabs.

 

Ah ya forgot what tab you were on and posted that here!! (I have done that before also)

 

Years ago I had a coleco Adam and ZX 81 . A bad caps forum member wants to know if these are private collections or open for others to see ..
This is a post I started on bad caps .

I bought my second C64, this time it is a breadbin made in England (ASSY250425), my first was a C64-C .
I was thinking about recapping it but a bit unsure

 

I believe this french computer museum is way better, check it out.It is laid out in a bit annoying fashion but it comprises nearly all of them... including the Spectravideo SVI 738 X'press , which I am glad to own obsoletecomputers only lists the 328

 

I still have my old Pentium 4 computer with Windows 2000 installed. I was going to power it up when I saw I took out the power supply that is long gone.

 

The company that I worked for many years ago would put out a monthly news letter on glossy paper etc. Around the same time they were just getting into personal computers for the offices. The brand that they chose was Wong Computers . A nice neat little package type computer.. In the monthly news letter it had a photo of a secretary using her supervisors computer and the caption under the photo said, "Here is Mary playing with her boss's Wong." Comments being made days later were like .............. Well heck Mary is pretty cute. She could play with my Wong anytime she wants. Needless to say the news letters that were still on the shelf were pulled and never seen again. Unless you had your copy hidden away LOL

 

Oh I forgot to put the actual link... silly me.

OLD-COMPUTERS.COM : The Museum

 

that is better

 

Those computers are ancient that a $10.oo Timex watch can now stomp them all into the dirt. They're collectable and often worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and, if they actually run, they're worth more. So, they have to turn them on once in a while, but using them for anything would decrease their value. However, they're producing a modern version of the C64 that will play retro games.

 

once I owned an Olivetti typewriter or I should rather say a word processor cause it actually was a truly humongous Z-80 based CP/M machine with a B/W monitor mounted on an equally sturdy swivel arm. I offered it at old-computers.com but they declined. It was 50 kg heavy and later it broke down and I did the stupid thing of just dumping it.

Gaby is one clever girl. She owned a lot of CP/M machines she later sold away. This is her personal online museum and she and her tribe are great CP/M experts. I always appeal to their know-how when I get mired with that operating system obscured by obsolescence.

In her small museum some really exotic machines no one remembers anymore.
For example, anyone ever heard of Yodobashi computers ? I never did and I reckon no one of us as well.

This is the Yodobashi Formula-1 .
