Need help identifying old computer

Now the question remains, do I take apart the rest of these printers, electric typewriters, and other electronics, or do I take a step back and do some research first

Probably depends on the volume of stuff you get and how much you value your time. It takes time researching items, and even if they are worth more then scrap you need more time to clean and test them plus ship them. Most machines look common until you pop the cover off. Even on old common machines there can be upgrades worth a bunch of money that just get scrapped. If you get bored go look on ebay at the vintage computer subcategory for completed auctions and see what some of this stuff sells for (or doesn't sell).

As far as volume goes, I generally don't go out and actively search often for electronic stuff. Really, I see this as a hobby to take up my little bit of spare time that isn't already dedicated to my day job. I will take you advice though, and start checking out the online auctions and such.
