GREAT stuff. Kinda like a retrospective of the junk I've looked at and dealt with for about 30 years. But even before that, I recall many of those small, beige colored boards from my surplus days going into Canal St in lower NYC, to Radio Row, where the WTC once stood. Neat old pix.

Anyone looking for information about old vintage computers should be aware of the bitsavers archive.
http://bitsavers.org/
Old manuals, schematics, data books, source code, firmware, software, ...

If you find any scrap that is described there it probably have value as a collectors item.

I guess I never noticed this thread before. All the links are interesting. I especially liked the device for cutting open transistor cans under Computer Rarities at the vintchip website. Much easier than the way I do it now probably.
