Good stuff available in northern NJ / southern NY state
There's a bunch of good stuff available for the taking in northern NJ / southern NY state. It is free to good homes, but the owner would appreciate reasonable cash donations -- please don't take advantage of him. He has Parkinson's disease, so he is definitely NOT shipping anything. The items are in two locations (his home in Hewitt, NJ and an airplane hangar in Montgomery, NY). I don't have a specific breakdown of which items are at which locations. But, he said that the items in the hangar MUST be moved by the end of this month or they'll be thrown away. The full list of items (both locations) he sent me is: - 10 (or more) Kaypros - 6 (or more) Epson QX-10 - 1 or 2 Zorbas - 1 Televideo TS-803 - 1 Philips 2000 - 1 Xerox 820 - Several dot matrix printers. - Several CRT monitors - 1 Apple small monitor (used with an Apple 2 C) - 1 Compaq portable - 1 Commodore 128 - 1 Tandy Color Computer - 1 Toshiba luggable with plasma display. (at home) - 1 external 8" floppy drive - 1 external 5" floppy drive - 1 IBM PC-Junior - 1 DEC Decwriter III - 1 Japanese Word Processor. - Floppy disks, (5 and 8") manuals, etc. (at home) - 1 Diablo printer + some ribbons and wheels. (at home) - 1 CD reader with SCSI interface. - acoustic coupler modem - "Probably more things I don't recall at the moment." He has one other artifact which VCFed has dibs on: an HP-21MX minicomputer located at his home. This is non-negotiable. It's ours. :) Obviously we would be grateful if someone can go retrieve it for us and bring it to the museum. Very important: if you can retrieve it for us, then you MUST let us know ahead of time; don't tell me after the fact. He also has, at home, a new-ish Supermicro pedestal file server: http://www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/pedestal/800/SC850.cfm. We don't need that, but he wants it to go together with the HP, so be warned. :) Contact: Roberto Waltman, 973-853-0042, rgwaltman@warwick.net

Update -- Ian and Dean both offered to transport the HP to our museum, and I trust both of them to make fair decisions about what to keep for themselves and what to share with the rest of the group. Please hold off with any further replies to Roberto. We don't want to overwhelm him.

Evan,Ian & Dean, Hewitt is close to me & Montgomery is also pretty close so feel free to contact me if you need another body and/or my van to help transport stuff. I was sleeping when the first message came in so I am responding now. Full disclosure: I am also interested in a few of the items but my assistance is not dependent on getting them. Let me know, but I will be away this weekend returning Tuesday. Reagrds, Jeff
I know I'm interested in the PCjr. On Wednesday, October 5, 2016, Jeff Galinat via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

-- Normal Person: Hey, it seems that you know a lot. Geek: To be honest, it's due to all the surfing I do. Normal Person: So you go surfing? Normal Person: But I don't think that has anything to do with knowing a lot... Geek: I think that's wrong on a fundamental level. Normal Person: Huh? Huh? What?
