I am interested in the PET stuff, especially the drive. Please send me a private e-mail. Chris On Fri, Feb 15, 2019 at 2:01 PM David Hoelzer via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
Hello there-
I'm continuing my ambitious cleaning out project and have the following available for reasonable offers, if anyone is interested:
SGI O2 plastic body. If you've owned an SGI, you know the plastic is notoriously fragile. This is the complete greenish/bluish body that fits over the chassis.
Pile of about 100 SSDD, DSDD, DSHD 5.25 floppies. Could be a few more, could be a few less. I'm just guestimating.
Box full of 3.5 DSDD and DSHD floppies.. Looks to be approximately 60+ disks.
8" soft sectored double density floppy. I put Pickles & Trout CPM on this in 2015 for a TRS-80 Model II that has since found a new home.
Fully functional (at last powerup, which is about 2 years now) Apple IIc with internal 5.25 and a very rare external high density 3.5 drive. There are many, many 3.5 drives out there that work with most IIc computers, but this one took me years to find and sells for 100+ when you can find it. The power supply for the IIc is not original and, in fact, is sort of a frankenstein's monster, so you'll want to replace that. I'm pretty sure there are a variety of IIc programmer books in the box with it, but it's tucked away at the moment, so I'm working from memory. I don't think they have value, they're just a couple of nice additional pieces that come with it.
Commodore Pet 8032. This is in complete but not currently functional condition. I did a great deal of work on this a few years ago, got it up and running and then found some shorts, which turned out to be from acid core solder that someone used previously to work on it. I didn't have the energy to work on it again, which will require desoldering the SRAM and ROM chips, cleaning the board, repairing one trace, and putting everything back in. There is also a 1001 floppy drive (I might have that number wrong.. .It's the IEEE bus high density 5.25 drive that was pretty rare back in the day, though there were enough that a few survived.. definitely less common than the 4040 and the 8050 drives). That drive was fully functioning when I packed it up about 3 years ago.
No reasonable offers refused. I've sold/given stuff to a few of you in the past, so they can vouch for me always wanting to be fair about the value of stuff. I'm on the very far eastern end of Long Island (Shelter Island, in fact), though I am willing to drive a (reasonable) distance to meet anyone who is interested. The distance I will travel is commensurate with the number of things you want to obtain. :)
