Don't even know where to start

Hello Atari-ageians,

 

This post will probably appeal more to the computer members, or the circuit builders, while I do have some older games.

 

I'm kind of in the "Toy Story 3" dilemma... just, my toys are sharp and covered in solder...and all around less cuddleable. Since about 5th grade I've been gathering...stuff. (Dead CD drives, working ones, floppy drives, boards, buttons, product-less remote controls, boards, switches, old power units, boards, stuff that can be project cases, boards, etc) I'm looking at college now & trying to clean out the workbench. I hate to have this stuff sitting around if there's someone out there looking for project parts, or just stuff to hack at (Plus a little gas & textbook money wouldn't be a bad thing) I don't think I'd be doing any transactions until April, I started this mostly to see if if there is any interest, but if there's someone that really really really wants a box of CD drives, or a dozen PCI Dial-up cards, I can send stuff early. This is also here if anyone is looking for something in particular, power cords, PS2 keyboard controllers, anything of the sort, to give me time to look around. I'd just much rather give any seeking Atari-Age hobbyist first dibbs on the collection before ebay.

 

I have a wealth of devices and parts, working and non. I won't send you anything that doesn't work claiming it does. I will only say something is working if I just tested it, I can post a video of the unit working if needed. I repair systems for a charity, so some of the parts came form there. Non-functional stuff has potential in a second life, some can be repaired for it's original purpose. I've kept broken drives, platters and other stuff around for projects in the future, but will be severely short on time to do any of them in the near future. A lot of the parts are incredibly universal. I motorized my window blinds with a servo type unit from a Performa's 3½. Since it seems to be the latest trend, I can also "Box-o-crap" some stuff, but I won't do that until the collection has been picked over. If you do have an interest in the box-o-crap delivery style, post or PM. I do indeed have functioning drives, cards, mobos, and other stuff to a good home. Don't think I'm just some packrat trying to sell garbage. Computer parts range from the mid 80's to 2008.

 

If there is an interest, I'll start an index of what I have, if no one has any, then I'm not going to waste hours indexing parts, games, drives, cards, cables, mobos, and whatnot.

 

Thanks for reading
