Nice photos x86sniper.. I remember a tech fair many years ago in Atlanta, Georgia. Loads of old computers pre 1985. You could play with them all. I didnt have my camera with me  |

That's really cool. Was it a good day out for us techno geeks? 
There is apparently a good one down near to where I live - I have to go and visit but I best not tell the girlfriend I'm going. Just collecting the things is damn geeky enough for her.

It is nice to see museums like this coming up.
So our hobby gets more "respect" |

For your Information:
The IBM Model 30's were made in an XT, 8088, and AT, 80286 ISA Desktop Models.
THe Model 70's were Microchannel Desktop 80386's 20Mhz or Model 80's in a Tower Unit.
IBM Model 50's and 50Z's were Desktop 80286's in microchannel in a Desktop and Model 60's in a Tower.
I have Pallet loads of these and also Pallet loads of IBM Monitors all in good going order although some of the 20Meg Drives on the Model 30's are getting tired and showing some bad sectors.
I also have a few Genuine IBM XT's and AT's in good going order. 
Cheers

That sounds really smart, Will you be holding on to the few units. I can only imagine they are slowly becoming vintage collectors equipment

No
I intend to sell them whole if I can or failing that I will consider breaking them down and selling as parts.
Cheers
