    Vintage Lot I got

    Just got a Tandy 1000. The case is rough so I am going to try Ebaying the parts. These are the parts I have...

    Keyboard
    5.25" Floppy
    Hard Disk Controller Board
    Motherboard
    Hard Drive

    He also gave me 2 old Texas Instrument calculators with matching PC-100C Print/Security Cradles. These range on Ebay from $20 to $400 so can't wait to test them out.

    Also will be getting a old computer from the same person in a few months. He says it weighs a few hundred pounds and used the punch cards.

    Here a few pics of the Texas Instrument stuff

    Does not include the arm full of manuals, the box (which sold on Ebay for just under $10), the cases, the other printer, and AC adapter still in the box.

    I had a old calculator similar to the ones pictured. I'm not saying to scrap it but the one I had was gold traces on the board and the ti emblem was even printed with gold on the board. Might pop it open just to see? The old stuff can be really cool.
