Hi Brent,
I'd be interested in the TRS-80 model 100...
Sorry for replying on-list, but I've sent you
private emails in the past and got no reply so I
suspect I may not be getting through for some
reason.
I think I've got a scrap XT keyboard somewhere in
case someone needs a key or two.

Subject: moving cleanout - IBM XT(s), assorted
macs, green-screen NTSC monitors, TRS-80 types,
etc
So my house sold yesterday after < 3 days on the
market (the market here is nuts).
I have about two months to move, so a bunch of
stuff has to disappear.
Location is the Vancouver, BC, Canada region (Port
Moody more precisely).
Most of this stuff is larger and I'm not going to
have a lot of time to pack & ship, so local pickup
is expected.
If there is competition for something I guess it
goes to the one willing to offer the greater
number of bucks,
otherwise items are free as the alternative
destination is recycling/scrap.
Any bucks involved are not because I expect a lot
(or anything), but just to sort out who 'values'
it the most
if there is multiple interest in an item.
I reserve the right to be whimsical in any
decision.
The following is 'off-the-top-of-my-head', I
haven't examined this stuff in awhile.
If someone would like a photo of something, let me
know.
Additional stuff may filter out in the near
future.
======== XTs
IBM 5160 (XT)
- CPU with one floppy and hard drive, but the hard
drive is flaky (booted from floppy last time I
checked)
- clicky-keyboard with special coloured keycaps
for some video-editing system, still functions as
normal keyboard,
missing one keycap (whatever is immed. below the
RETURN key)
- IBM 5151 green-phosphor monitor
XT-class clone
labeled "IDM Research X88 Turbo"
not readily bootable, IIRC the 'multi-function'
board was damaged by battery leakage,
the hard drive is flaky on this one too, IIRC
might be consider for parts/modules or as a base
to complete an XT
- with keyboard & amber-phosphor monitor
======== Macs
Mac Quadra 605 / LC475
68040 pizza box
- with ADB keyboard and mouse
- no monitor
Mac Performa 5300CD
beige all-in-one, kind of the all-in-one
predecessor to the original iMac
- with ADB keyboard and mouse
Mac PowerPC tower
beige G3
- with ADB keyboard and mouse
- no monitor
yes, bland and unexciting, the redeeming point is
it's kind of a "multi-medium machine":
zip drive
floppy drive
CD-ROM drive
SCSI bus
IDE bus
RS-232
USB
ethernet
some video/audio IO
original iMac Rev A
'the very first iMac model', bondi-blue of course
- complete with puck mouse, the proper keyboard
and the proper 'clear' power cable
- original Mac OS8 install media and box
I think it has 40 or 60MB of memory but could
really do with more - a couple of memory sticks
were zapped as I was swapping them testing another
machine.
I'm not completely sure how many ADB
keyboard/mouse sets there are, at least 2.
======== NTSC monitors
4 green-phosphor 12" NTSC monitors.
I think 2 of them will go and I may hang on to 2.
Typically used with late-70s / early-80's micros.
I have to hang on to one of them to go with my
SWTPC CT-1024 terminal, for example.
One of them (NEC) was originally sold in a package
with and used with an Apple II.
======== TRS-80s
2 or 3 TRS-80 CoCos
TRS-80 Model 100
the laptop
TRS-80 portable/luggable
I'd have to check/confirm on this one, it was at
the radio museum, if it's there it should go.
======== bonus
circa-1980 colour TV, 13-14"
If you really want the authentic (i.e. awful)
RF-modulated-display experience from your vintage
80's micro, without the mass of a 17,19,21" CRT,
this could be it.
