Hello, I'm getting shut of my vintage Mac gear, it's taking up too much room now and my adoring love for it all is becoming outweighed by a desire to be able to work in my study without tripping over hordes of old computers... Good prices to get quick sales!
So, ignore crappy quality of iphone pictures and bask in the retro Mac goodiness. Shipping prices are UK only.
First of all, my favourite, Apple Mac Performa 630, with 14" monitor:
A really cute little computer, very very clean, close to mint, slight signs of use on keyboard. As you can see, boxed with polys. Has a fresh install of OS8.1 (a lovely system!), 68040 processor, 36MB RAM, 400MB hard-drive. There's a TV tuner card built in and it comes with a black Apple remote! So, plug in your ariel and watch telly. Doubt it's digital ready though... Anyway, I used this for playing old school Mac games, it's a real treat to use. (*cough* google Macintosh Garden for tonnes of 68K "abandonware"...*cough*) Will handily run ancient versions of photoshop and word etc. I installed an ethernet card so you can hook it into your network and surf broadband! I had it sharing files with Windows XP and OSX too. Lovely. Keyboard and mouse included.
Price for this: Base Unit - £20 shipped, Monitor £22 shipped.
Next...
PowerMac 7600. Fitted with a 333Mhz G3 cpu card, has 528MB RAM installed, running OS 9.2.2. A vintage powerhouse! That's a 17" monitor. The pint glass is for scale, it's a beast! Has a 12GB HDD installed plus a 6GB 2nd HDD, plus a photoshop scratch disk partition off of one of the drives of 2GB total.Runs Photoshop pretty well, although it did fall over when I tried to run unsharp mask filter on a 400MB Hasselblad digital file I networked over. It deals with sensible files very nicely! The monitor works well, although it takes a few minutes to warm up and may look a little fuzzy at first. Keyboard and mouse included.
Price: Base Unit - £20 shipped, Monitor £25 shipped.
Next:
Another PowerMac, this ones a 7200! This one is pretty much stock, 90Mhz processor, 96MB RAM (I think). I have another G3 card that came with this but pulled it when I pulled all the RAM out of it to stuff in the 7600, you need to have as much RAM on the g3 card as you do in the base unit and I ran out! Pretty nice machine, 4GB drive I think, installed with 9.1 or 9.2.2.
Price £15 shipped
Next:
iBook G3, original clamshell version! This has a 300Mhz processor, maxed out RAM at 512MB, 3GB HDD and has OSX 10.3 installed. Also, a brand new battery that holds hours of charge plus an Airport card for wireless net. Under OSX the airport can connect to WEP or WPA networks, under OS9 just WEP. A lovely computer, beautiful. Very clean, no marks or damage at all. Comes with original yoyo charger! Has a lovely keyboard, it's a pleasure to use for typing long Word documents, much nicer than my new Macbook Pro keyboard!
Price: £100 shipped. This is a quality laptop that still runs internet and office productivity stuff nicely, and a future collectors item, hence the price.
Next:
Retail copy of OS8.5, with OS8.6 update CD! Complete and mint, looks like it came off the shelf yesterday. These are getting hard to come by.
Price: £30 shipped
Next, bits and pieces:
G3 card at 400Mhz for PowerMac 7200. No RAM on board.
Price: £10 shipped
16MB RAM, 168 pin.
Price £3 shipped
Wacom A5 graphics tablet (Artpad 2), SCSI 2GB external drive, SCSI CD-RW.
Price: Tablet £7 shipped, HDD ****SOLD**** , CD-RW ****SOLD****
Magneto-Optical drive plus 15 MO disks. The drive itself, I buggered. Not sure what I did, it was working then it died and won't come back to life. Odd. I have a vague idea it's something to do with SCSI, I didn't really understand how to hook it all up... Whoops. Maybe fixable? Maybe the disks are useful to you?
Price: £10 the lot shipped.
Gravis flight style ADB joystick. A monster and great for Mac flight-sims! Boxed and looks mint, clearly barely used.
Price: £15 shipped.
That's that for now. Basically I'm just looking to cover shipping, I've priced according to roughly what I think it'll cost to post plus a bit for time spent wrapping and lugging plus a bit extra for a few beers to numb the pain of parting with them... It's a nice little horde and ultimately I'll be glad to see them go to good homes.
Now, if someone wanted to drive down to me (Medway in Kent) and pick this up as a joblot (ibook excluded) to save me the hassle of posting it then I'd be very open to discuss that and load the lot into your car for you (ibook excluded!) for, say £30 for a drink! Twist my arm and I'll probably say £20... :-(
