Title: Collectors, who's got the most "junk"?
Post by: EdFlux on March 23, 2009, 07:42:25 PM
Just for fun, list what machines you've collected over the years much to the dismay of your spouse, family, or any living thing under the roof that has lost space due to your growing collection! It would be interesting to see what everyone has sitting in their closets.

I have:

Apple: IIgs (x2), Mac SE (x2), Classic, Classic II, SE/30, 9600 (w/1ghz G4 upgrade), IIci, 7100, Plus (x2), original 128k (M1001 upgraded to plus)

Atari: 1040St (x3), 520Ste (4mb), 130XE (x2), 800 (x5, bought in a lot)

Commodore: VIC-20 (x2), C64 (x2), Amiga 500 (x2), A2000 (GVP 030, hopefully get my Blizz. 060 fixed soon).

Compucolor II
DEC Rainbow (x2)
IBM XT  (original 10mb HD still works!)
Kaypro II
NEC PC8201a
Processor Technology SOL-20
Tandy CoCo II
TI 99/4a (x2) with that enormous peripheral expansion box

not to mention the collection of game consoles and tube radios/TVs scattered around the house or in storage.

Could this kinda be who "had" the most junk? If not, please see second paragraph.

I started out with a Radio Shack TV Scoreboard, a 4 switch 2600, then a TI-994/A, after that an Atari 400, quickly after that (thanks to the membrane keyboard) an Atari 800, then a Mattel Aquarius, a Magnavox pong standalone, a Timex Sinclair, an Apple II+, a Commodore64, a Colecovision, then an 8-bit Nintendo, then an Amiga 1000, a Radio Shack CoCo III, next came an Amiga 500, the SNES, a Mac Classic, an Atari 130XE game system, then a TG-16 w/ CD-ROM, a Gameboy, an Odyssey 2, a Colecovision, a Coleco Adam, a Sega Master System, then a 7800 and a Lynx, then a Neo Geo home system and a Turbo-Express, a Game Gear, a 5200, a Mac SE, then a Philips CD-I, and now an Amiga 1200. Next came a Turbo-Duo, an IBM PeeCee, then an Atari Jaguar, a PSX, then an Amiga CD32, a Sega Genesis, a Nomad & a CD-X. An XE game system, then a N64, then the Jaguar Toilet CD add-on, a "home built" PeeCee, an eMac, an A4000, a Gamecube, an X-Box, PowerMac, a Vectrex, an Atari XL computer, an iMac, an Amiga 600, a Powerbook, a Wii and now... all I care to have left after spending countless dollars and hours looking for "happiness" in all the wrong places is...

The Radio Shack TV Scoreboard, several Atari 2600's (300+ games, +/- 100 boxes & mans), several TI-994/A's(50+ games, most w/ mans & lots of books/mags), three Amiga's(hundreds of games, lot of boxes & mans), just about every AmigaWorld and Amazing computing issues among hundreds of pounds of other misc. Amiga mags, coverdisks, tech guides, computer manuals and who knows what else. Most of it is all nicely displayed though! lol  Two modern Mac's and about 30 various arcade machines round out the bulk of "junk" taking up their fair share of space here. Talk about thinning the herd!

Oh, I know I'm forgetting to mention at least a few game systems, computers and wives along the way... LOL!   And even currently... boxes full of PeeCee garbage that could probably equal at least three full systems (but will never be allowed to stand in this house, now that's how I define *junk*!)

 :lol:

Actually, that's only the vintage computer/game system collection. If I added all the "modern" ones I've collected, there'd be a couple more pages.
