It seems the older stuff from the 70s & 80s are worth more.
I kept all my old pcs and ones people have thrown out.  I got over 20 complete systems.
Gonna take them apart and ebay them!

Just more money for wrenches :)

In 2005 when I retired from the University of Alabama in Huntsville, we were dismantling old computers and testing the boards.  All good boards were kept for repair parts, but all bad boards were recycled for gold.
