Hey everyone!

My friend @ComputerCompulsive (Keith) and I recently picked up a huge lot of Apple systems. 60+ to be exact.

Here's a photo album: https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B2S5NI45M92jhE

We're making a list of what is for sale. Doing lots of testing, and some repairs that aren't too involved.

Thanks!

Holy moly!
Lots of goodies for the Apple II/III aficionados.
And I spy a mountain of compacts as well <3.
And at least 2 G4 Cubes? And at least 1 iLamp?

Nice. Getting flashbacks to the three Volvo wagon loads of machines that I did in 2012.

Ohh neat, I spy those cubes :) I wonder if they came with their PSUs? Oh neat, I see some cMP cases too. Love all the era software. What a cool haul :)

And checking it twice?
Are we gonna find out who's been naughty or nice?
Looks like Santa really is comin' to town! [father-christmas]

Pardon my humor. I really do think those photos are incredible. I look forward to seeing the itemized listing of goodies for sale, especially if the pricing is kind toward TinkerDifferent forum members. Only the "nice" ones, of course! [fingers-crossed]

Would love to hear if there are any Apple IIc compatible Hand Controllers (paddles) which have this connector:



They appear on EBAY but the prices are too high, even if I ignore shipping to Japan.

Hi James!

We did NOT get those paddles, although it would be super cool if we did!! We DID however get the original BLACK paddles that came with the Apple II Plus, along with all the manuals, RF Modulator, AND the matching serial number box!!!

My dad bought us an Apple II Plus with 48k ram back in 1980, and I was having flashbacks of opening it up when looking in the box.
