Help warmachine replace his car

warmachine · Post by **warmachine** » Fri May 05, 2006 10:47 pm

Well, I'm not one to ask for help, in fact, I usually just let problems overwhelm me rather than let people know I need something. In this case, however, I need some help. I was in a pretty bad wreck a while back and I am in need of a car. I have one in my potential price range, so I'm selling off much of my computer workshop and "antique" computer collection to help pay for it. This is a bit of a loss for me, as I've spent the better part of the last decade acquiring some of the stuff I'm selling, but it's neccessary.

To start, I have a few auctions up and running:

TRS-80 Color Computer: $3.00
Set of King's Quest Games, II, III, IV, & V (Near Complete): $15.00
Timex Sinclair 1000 Computer and 16KB RAM Expansion: $4.00
Gateway Profile 1.5 w/Ubuntu: $30.00

I also have some portablizing stuff I'm getting rid of:

One PSOne car adapter, and PSOne wall adapter: $5 for the each.

I am also selling a MIDI keyboard I bought and never used ($100 new). It is a Keystation 49e and has only been looked at, never actually used, although it is open. I was gonna auction it for $80, but I'll sell it here for $60 upfront.

I have many other items that I intend to sell off, but my camera was borrowed and I don't have it as of my writing this. The rest of the item list is kinda as follows; if you see something you like, name a price:

1x Apple IIe w/5.25 diskII drive and mono-green monitor
1x Tandy 1000 SX PC
1x Tandy RGB monitor (goes with the PC, but I'm selling it seperate because some might want the screen more than the compy)
1x Broken TRS-80 Model 200 laptop (hard to find and easily repaired)
1x Macintosh Classic II w/Hypercard on the HD (Hypercard = hard to find)
5x Macintosh PowerPC 6XXX, each with tuner card and composite video inputs (some have Hypercard as well)
5x Macintosh LC, LC II, and LCIII (these are great for their tiny 12V/5V power supplies)
1x Epson printer (goes with the Apple IIe)
1x Broken Commodore 128 (parts)
1x Broken Commodore VIC20 (parts)
1x Commodore cassette recorder
1x Pioneer Laserdisc Player
1x Windows 2.0 (yes, Win2.0, also known as Win386)
Xx A crapload of old programming books for Commodore, PC, and others
12x Tact switches
1x Possibly... selling... original... copy... of... Earthbound... must... resist... financial... burdens...

Be sure to tack on shipping of a couple of bucks for item that I can't just put in the box outside.

PS - this is a tenative list and will get bigger probably, so keep reading and you may find something you like. Also, this is only a portion of the equipment that I will be selling from the actual collection, I have other items that will fetch some heavy dough, so until I make a final decision on whether to sell them or not, they won't be appearing anywhere online yet.

Does the LaserDisc player have S-video output? And how much are you asking?

How much for each of those? Could you combine shipping on your eBay auctions? Which programming books do you have?

The MIDI keyboard draws my eye....how many SFX does it have? Do you want $60 shipped, or $60+shipping?
Is this it? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002A ... oding=UTF8

I'm interested in the PSOne car adapter. I'd probably pay with PayPal, so if you want to PM me with the details, if that's okay with you.

The LaserDisc Player is on eBay now at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... RK:MESE:IT

Here's the specs for it, it's a CM-5 monitor. It takes RBG, but it needs H and V Sync separately, not C Sync. I'm not sure if you still want it, cos I have no clue how to separate the two signals into H & V.

Yeah, I'm looking at a car that, if I get it, will last another two decades. It's a 1983 Jaguar XJ6 in very good shape; it just needs a couple of relays replaced and a car wash, and at $4500, it's a pretty good deal. I only need it for short drives here and there and this fall it will take me to and from university once a week.

Well, in brief, I fell asleep at the wheel (a combination of lack of sleep and a problem I'm getting checked out that I've had for several years now - basically, I get really tired all at once and nod off for no apparent reason, whether I've had a good rest or not) and drove off a bridge. I landed twenty feet below, upside-down in a creek that was filled with eight feet of water. I came to, untangled my seatbelt (the car was pitch black and filled with water at this point) and managed to open the door and swim to shore. My neighbor found me wandering the street (in my suit, rambling incoherently) a few minutes later and the rest is a blur.

The 200 I'll sell for $10 (got it for $20 at a garage sale). Seek repairs from these guys. They fixed my M100.

Four left, if you want them; $0.08 apiece, half of Digikey's price.

No Powerbook, PowerPC; they're single unit Macintosh computers from the early/mid-90s that have a CD-ROM, floppy and IDE HD.
