Re: Houston Computer Museum Warehouse Liquidation
I have been to the warehouse once - and purchased a Commodore C64, 1541 Hard Disk, 1802 Color Monitor, a NOS sealed box of Verbatim 5 1/4" floppy disks, and a Tektronix 603 Storage Monitor. All of them are working well. Thomas responded to my Messenger PM with an appointment time.

Re: Houston Computer Museum Warehouse Liquidation
I have bought multiple items from Thomas and seen the warehouse in person repeatedly.

Re: Houston Computer Museum Warehouse Liquidation
Have any list members seen the place in person? Have any list members successfully bought anything yet? I have tried reaching Thomas by email and phone, to no avail. Just wondering if others have had similar challenges. Thanks, Kyle

The very best way to convince people of the lack of water damage to the warehouse is simply to take a bunch of pictures of the warehouse and post them. Good pictures that show the equipment unobscured, inside and out. Water damage, or the lack of it, will become very apparent. -- Will
Houston Computer Museum Warehouse Liquidation
I have seen multiple posts over time speculating about flooding in the warehouse. I would like to assure everyone that the warehouse has never flooded, and that any posts to the contrary are inaccurate or greatly exaggerated. I have cleared a significant area inside the warehouse and have not seen any indications at all of floodwaters entering the building. Additionally, the landlord has also confirmed that the building has never flooded. The only moisture-related damage that has occurred at all happened to paper articles in direct contact with the cement floor (The floor is bare cement, and gets moist during heavy rains). Such items have all been discarded. The computers, even those that touched the ground, are undamaged. If I were to find a computer with water damage, it would be clearly labeled as such when being sold. If you have any questions, please email me directly, and I will gladly answer them to the best of my knowledge. Thomas Raguso
Re: Houston Computer Museum Warehouse Liquidation
Just curious but are these sales helping John and family or has this officially been turned over? Most of these have been underwater for an unknown amount of time, correct?

RE: Houston Computer Museum Warehouse Liquidation
Unfortunately I’m well and truly too far away shipping wise, but the Intergraph 6400 is a rare thing these days. Anyone willing to pick it up and dump ROMs and photograph internals would be a huge help to the MAME emulation effort for these systems...
