Cha ching.... Vintage...

A guy came into our scrap facility with a few odds and ends and along with them he brought these in.. just tossed in with some lowgrade boards and such..

I had to be honest and I paid him well for these eprom.. but Didnt know I had some vintage until I did some research.



So.. Take a look.. and What do You think the value of these could be.

These items are Pre 1990 chips that came out of variety of computer boards.. They are VINTAGE Very rare...

I don't know exactly what boards these came out of but have found out the one with the dual cpu is from a military board pre 1989 approx.

the rest I'm still doing research.

My heart breaks when I ponder some of the things I saw shredded, crated, & hauled away back when I was working on submarines in the mid-late 80s. I could probably retire if I had all that stuff pristine right now.

Cool pics, thanks for sharing!

Where did you work on Submarines? My uncle worked on Nuclear Subs in Alameda California when the Navel base was in operation.

I love pictures like these, I know you already showed them to me, but I just had to comment again!

For those that don't already know, you can sometimes sell your vintage computer equipment, or electronics for a premium. Just check out the ebay listings, you might get a good idea for what this type of equipment goes for.

Isn't there also a vintage computer forum where they buy/sell and collect the oldies??

You going to try and straighten out all of those bent pins, Larry? Vintage can only fetch vintage price in good working condition.

I would actually use a pair of needle nose pliers with some cloth around the tips to try and do that and they may have some better than scrap value.

There are some old Hammond organs that have some of those long white chips with gold all over them.

The one in the bottom picture you are looking at about $15-20 if you get the pins perfect, sometimes not an easy job. The others are probably just good for scrap.
