Hee Hee Hee,
That's a great start!!! I think I may see a CoCo in there also, but I cant tell if it is a 2 or 3 at this angle. BTW heather, I found a great fourm for the 8 bit Commodore stuff (just PM me ofr the URL) I joined last week and it has tons of stuff on the 128 and a small TED fourm also.

I'm going to have fun this winter poking through the machines and getting them to work well. Two of the bread bin models are in like new physical condition and I even have some silver label models in there.
Everything was not so organized until this weekend. I turned my downstairs bedroom into a storage room and moved all this stuff from my upstairs office on Saturday. It was good exercise and getting those metal racks downstairs by myself was quite difficult. My cats looked on in amusement the entire time.
rkauer was right, I really need to check a couple of these machines for battery issues. The first one that comes to mind is the A500. I don't know if the PC-10 has a battery but I will certainly check. Does anyone see anything else that may need to be looked at?
There's no humidity in the room but I can't speak for where they were stored before I got them. I know some people store their retro gear in their garage! I would never do that.
You are right in pointing out it's not all C= stuff in there. Some of the plastic bins contain my Sega Genesis, Sega Dreamcasts and other items. I've also got the CoCo and the Halo Edition XBOX with Xecuter 3. I rotate my retro consoles out because I really don't have room to keep them all hooked up.
Well, thanks for looking everyone. I really don't think I need anything else for the holidays! I buy my presents throughout the year.
Take care,
Heather
:wooha: That's nice collection, i'm sure you don't get boored at your holidays. :drool:
That is amazingly tidy! It is how I wish I could get my collection. Although I would ideally like it all setup to use it without needing to set things up every time, but there isn't the room for that at the moment.
I struggle to keep finding new spaces to store (hide) all of my collection. :lol: It's not just the systems and their boxes and related hardware though. I also find it hard to find the space to store all the boxed software I keep getting ready for scanning for CA, and until I find the time to actually scan any of that lot, it needs storage space.
If you find one of those C64's is broken maybe you should consider a PC conversion project? Gut the C64, install a mini-itx PC motherboard, with a keyrah adaptor so you can use the original C64 keyboard as the PC keyboard. Maybe even squeeze a pico PSU and laptop CD-Rom into it too. It's something I've been wanting to do to an A1200 case in some time.
That's a good idea. I'm sure there are at least a couple non-working items there.Quote:

Er....yeah baby! :nod:Quote:

I do not understand how to pick this up in a year:o
I have a collection, but it is nothing compared to this:Doh:
Well when somebody decides to sell a collection, (complete bunch) I do not respond, because of the space taken.
Everybody has most of the time the same available "crap = enough produced":
C64 "brown"
C64 "white"
C128
Amiga 500-600
Amiga 1200(more difficult:unsure:)
Expansions for A1200
What I also found at flee's:
Vic20. (I did not buy this, but bought the television module.)
C128D (250 euro's to much I thougt, there selling point was, good system for children:Doh:)
And then the monitors are space taking...
