phattyboombatty Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) Posted this in Classic Computing… seems he has some Atari goodies as well, so if you can haul 4 storage sheds of vintage 1980s compys, looks like they're yours gratis. Came across this while looking for stuff on Craigslist. Figured I'd pass along the information to any interested parties. Apparently he has some Atari home computers as well. Would love to know what you find! http://sandiego.craigslist.org/esd/sys/2576022700.html Edited September 1, 2011 by phattyboombatty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phattyboombatty Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 If anyone wants to collaborate (i.e., put up the cas for the U-Haul and storage unit for a few months), I'd be willing to help make it all come together. Would hate to see invaluable, classic, FREE hardware go to waste (or to someone less deserving than the AA community). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rybags Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Yeah, someone grab it before it ends up on Storage Wars and that wanker Dave gets it. Or Barry... and he grabs a felt hat from the back of the locker and chucks the rest out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fibrewire Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I talked to the guy. He says he'll hold it all for me, and on Monday I'll have someone take a box truck and pick it all up. I have enough storage to house the Titanic in pieces, and I will have some guys go with bags of old towels and go pick everything up. !!!!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
