Wide Range of Macs for Sale
michaelParker
Community Technology is a charitable computer training and recycling
organisation based in Brixton, south London. We recycle and resell a huge
variety of slightly-older-than-recent machines and peripherals, mostly PCs
but increasingly Macintoshes of all kinds. As the only UK-Mac lists, I
thought a mention here might generate some interest:
A selection of our current stock:
-- 5x 7300/200 - fast 604e CPU, with ample RAM and 2Gb disks
-- various 7600 - 132/166, 604 CPUs, with built in S-video and AV
connectors, 1/2Gb disks
-- 5x 7500/100 - 601 CPUs, most with 500Mb disks and RAM, all with
S-video/AV
-- 12x biege G3s - 750 CPUs, 233-266, with larger disks and more RAM,
etc.
-- Quadra650s - various.
-- Several 6100s, 7100, 7200s, all in various states, some in need of
RAM/VRAM etc.
-- 5000 series monitor-all-in-one style Performa's
-- montiors, including about 10x 19-21 inch apple montors (with DB15
Apple connectors)
-- We even have some iMacs, though you'll have to haggle pretty hard to
get them off us.
Basically, I've spent a fair bit of time sorting through them making sure
they have a fair amount of RAM/VRAM and cache to put them in good working
order. They almost all have an OS installed. I'd like to see them go to a
good home, and cease taking up space on our shelves.
If anyone is interested in purchasing these fine machines and putting them
to more use than we are, please contact us at
c...@community-nospam-technology.org.uk (..._remove it_....obviously..). We
are selling them for very reasonable rates (from about a tenner upwards, and
they come with ADB keyboard and mouse (for the better ones, anyway), and
monitors by agreement.
thanks for your time, pls excuse me for crossposting/possible relevance
issues.

I know the original post was arguably OT: (but can't we make
excpetions forcharitable organisations?) but whilst we're on the
subject of 2nd-hand old Macs, I seem to recall someone a while back
sold something that looked a bit like this, but in black:
http://www.apple-history.com/frames/body.php?page=gallery&model=5500
I seem to recall it was a couple of hundred megahertz and could be
upgraded to a G3 or so. I rather fancy something like this for the
bedroom - if it won't run OS X, then presumably Linux would work fine.
Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for, or would I be better
off buying a transparent iMac..?

Yep. But if you don't want the TV function, get an iMac.

PowerMac 5500; get one with the TV tuner and remote. Perfect bedroom
machine, if you can stand OS 9 (duck's for cover).

It would have been a 5500 - a nice machine. But don't bother upgarding
it to a G3 - it will still only use CRAM (Costly RAM) DIMMs, not SDRAM,
it has a slower ATA bus, its video chip is nothing to right home about
and if you did get eventually Mac OS running on it it would be a pretty
sad experience.
It will run Linux happily enough, but much of the charm of the 5500 was
its integrated bits and pieces (remote, TV/FM tuner, video-in card,
bundled software), none of which will be much use to a Linux user.

G3 upgrades go in the L2 cache slot.
The basic machines are now dirt cheap, even in Black, the beige
equivalents being almost unsellable on eBay.
I sold a black case kit to make a beige one nice for around £15 last
week!
To be really nice, make sure you get a black keyboard to go with it -
sold separately, they're worth as much as the Mac!
129Mb memory limit is the only architecture problem - they were very
nice Macs in their day.
Personally, I think they're more elegant than the earlu iMacs, but
that's just a personal opinion. Certainly less computer-like for the
bedroom!

I didn't know they had TV. Looking at iMacs in eBay's completed items
it looks like I can get a G3 333mhz for £199 or a G3 266mhz for £150.
I'll go & take a look at Woody's recent posting & see what iMac he's
running Panthar on.

No fear! If I get one of these it'll get Linux on it! One went on eBay
a week ago for £26. That's more in my price-range at present, and
seems quite reasonable for a unit with built-in monitor & CD-rom,
gnatty black k/b & mouse & a 225mhz processor. Sounds almost pokey
enough for OS X!!

Its an original bondi blue iMac revision a (233MHz). I just put a later
beta on it and its still running well - although I am not too keen on
the new sheets.

I'm quite happily running OSX on a 333MHz iMac with 192MB memory - it's
much snappier on this machine than it is on the 360MHz iBook with 320MB
memory. The only thing I can put this down to is the better hard drive
and graphics performance of the desktop machine.

The PM5500 runs a 603 / 603e processor. Although you can get a hack to
allow OSX to run on these machines, ISTR that Jaguar won't.
If you're going to be happy running Linux, then a 5500 will be fine, but
I'd personally look for something with a G3 processor - the G3
all-in-one looks pretty good (if you can find one) - as it's a desktop
G3 with integrated monitor and PCI slot.

No, they worked perfectly well. The 5200 had some odd port issues
though.

Several slots, ISTR, which explains its size, and means that you're
probably the first person in the world to claim the the G3 AIO (aka
'The Molar') looks pretty good! ;-) ;-)

Well no actually.......
Checks link. I seem to have either missed this or forgotten it
completely, I shall put it my want list immediately ;-)) [along with
a 20th Anniversary model]
But seriously, it seems to be a quite capable machine compared with the
5500 and - I suspect - not as expensive now as an iMac. Cheaper memory
than the 5500 too.....

I have an image of you in my mind, RPG, with you holding said GAU8

'dance winlots, dance!'.
It should be noted that this image is nothing new. It's the way I
picture you most of the time.

Well, techically there's many UCSMs, considering the way Usenet works.
Each version on every Usenet server out there could be considered a

I have no idea. I never even knew what 'Tonic wine' was- only that it was a
curious British thing, featured in 'Mrs Wilson's Diary' and was an oldie
tipple. But it certainly nails down a certain time and ethos.
Oh Christ, I Googled it. The original made from imported grape juice to
which has been added malt and meet extracts.
Pause while I nause out...
And yes, they still make it...
Sanatogen, on the other hand, now appear to make various vitamin
supplements.

Yes, I imagine that must have been the reason, but any wine that needs
blood in it must be pretty mingey to start with... Although presumably
we're talking traces here, not half'n half.

Wonderful stuff. Only ever saw it once, then whenever I tried to get it

Up here 'tonic wine' has only one name, Buckie. AKA Buckfast, made by
some monks in the north of England. Much favoured by the sort who are
more interested in getting pissed quickly and cheaply than in quality of
the experience. There would have been a fair bit of Buckie consumed
around Hampden before the stunning and courageous win against those
giants of European football, the Faroes.
