Interest check. Old computers/Game consoles
I'm going to shortly start thinning down my retro gamers consoles/computers and other hardware collection massively and I'm just gauging if anyone here would be interested in this sort of thing? mostly games consoles from 70s/80s and computers from same era.
If anyone is I will start to list shortly as I have so many I can no longer enjoy them. Any interest?? most makes available from Pong to PS3 and computers from zx81 to Laptops. Note, I also have 1000s of software too especially tapes etc |

Re: Interest check.Old computers/Game consoles
Interest, definitely. Quite seriously limited to what I can take on at the moment due to space constraints and an incoming project car - hence my own clearout currently underway!
Most likely to be the portable machines that are most of interest to me. |

Re: Interest check.Old computers/Game consoles
I collect machines from that era and have a particular interest in computers that are faulty as I enjoy the challenge of getting them going again.

Re: Interest check.Old computers/Game consoles
I would like to express a potential interest in computers of that era if there are ones of which I don't already have an example. I'll pass regarding games consoles though.

Re: Interest check.Old computers/Game consoles
I have interest in the Commodore plus 4 computer and associated games which I had as a Christmas present when I was about 8 years old. The main processor chip seem to die in it though and was eventually thrown away.

Re: Interest check.Old computers/Game consoles
I may have an interest in some stuff, trying to declutter a bit but there is always a little room

Re: Interest check.Old computers/Game consoles
Guess specific areas of interest are worthwhile...
Fave for me is the 80s/90s Toshiba portables. Still looking for a replacement for my sadly lost T-1200. Anything Amiga too, though I doubt I can afford it with the prices it seems to fetch these days. |
