Anyone have a vintage PC?

[mfu...@tomahaux.com]

Hey guys, 

I'm looking for an older computer to use for a quick video shoot. I've tried searching some local spots and craigslist but can't seem to find anything. Thought this might be a good place to look. The make/model isn't all the important just need something that works and looks retro. If anyone has one or knows where I can find one I would greatly appreciate it. The shoot would be super quick and you could be present the entire time(I could even shoot at your house if need be)

Thanks in advance!

I have an Osborne.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_1  Still worked last time I turned it on.

Most of my other vintage machines are either "on semi-permanent loan" to a vintage museum or given to a similar project.

Should we have a vintage computer meetup?  That might be fun

[Britt Dodd]

I'm in! I have a Macintosh Portable, TRS-80, Tandy 1000 with IBM CGA monitor, a hotrodded Amiga 1200 and a few Powerbooks

I'd love a vintage computer meetup

[jason]

Souldn't like fun.  I have a handful myself.  I used to have a veritable museum of non ibm or apple compatible computers and less popular consoles. sold most to a collector and fear most of the remaining are falling into disrepair.

[DaveCampbell]

this sounds totally interesting.

granted, there are formal (and informal) museums that likely have more complete collections, but this local effort might afford those who have really classic computers to get it catalogued regionally, and for those of us who have not-quite-classic stuff to connect and learn about the truly classics.

i enjoyed reading all the sinclair history, and do feel that focused meetups or activities would be worthwhile.

we all stand on the shoulder of giants - let's take some time and energy to learn and share about those giants.

I suspect my IMSAI 8080 would get a raised eybrow or two. But it weighs a ton. Seems like every time I have moved it one of those plastic-lever "flip" switches gets bumped and falls off. 

The Commodore PET 2001s with the chiclet keyboard are not exactly lightweight, for that matter. No telling when I'll devote the resources to restoring one of them. I wouldn't want to power up one of them with all those 40 year-old electrolytic capacitors in there. 

[Dave Campbell]

i used an IMSAI 8080 to do some pre-GPS mapping coordination while at speed school in 1984-ish timeframe.

that's a big box, for sure.

it might be interesting to try and get those systems operational - but only in an academic or historical context.

So it seems like the original intent of the thread was derailed :-)  It does seem like people would like a vintage computer event.  What do folks think might be a good way to do that.  Perhaps a Saturday afternoon or evening coupled with a LVL1 open house.  Or is a weeknight better?  I think this could be really fun.  Thoughts?
