This is a list of computer collectors from all over the world. If you have a computer that you want to get rid of, contact a collector near you. I should mention that some of these collectors are both mobile and also willing to bring in computers from all over the United States and Canada. If the collector near you isn't interested in your computer, contact any or all of the people listed here. Alternatively, if you live near someone here, and if you collect computers yourself, why not get together and compare notes ... or ROMs. Then make sure you send us your information and we can post it here. Let's make this site a meeting place for computer collectors everywhere. Pop back now and then to see what's changed!
Note to collectors who used to be on this list: If you haven't supplied a current and permanent email, you have been deleted from this list. If I can't contact you then it follows that donors can't contact you either which defeats the purpose of the list. Cheers. antiquecomputers@hotmail.com
Thanks!

| Steve Thatcher | 305 Walnut Drive Fredericksburg, VA 22405 540-368-5170 |
I have been involved from day one back in the 70s. I am
especially interested in Intel ISIS machines such as the MDS 225/230.
I actually was running ISIS on a Northstar machine back then and I am
trying to resurrect all the data that I have on 8" floppies which I kept
all these years. I have a few Northstar systems, Heathkit H88/89 systems,
TDL Dual 8" floppy system, a few custom systems, a bunch of Cromenco hardware, and a mostly working MDS 225 at the moment and a growing collection of documentation on S100 cards. I live in the Fredericksburg, VA area. |

| William Maddox | Cupertino, California | Minicomputers,
generally pre-1980, especially those with a full "blinkenlights" front panel. Particularly looking for PDP-8, early-model PDP-11, DG Nova, and lesser-known/defunct brands, also early microcomputers that were sold into the traditional "professional" minicomputer market. |
|
| Timothy P. Radde | Philadelphia area (anything within 4-5 hours is fine.) | I am
interested in anything DEC from the early 70's to early to mid 80s. Mostly pdp-8, but some 11 stuff too (mostly something with a full front panel). |

Hello,
we collect and restore old computers. Interested in computers, books,
manuals and parts. Mostly 1970s and earlier. Especially DEC PDP-11, since
these are still available and can be restored to operating condition.
But also any other 60's dec PDPs and boards, IBM and others. Really desire
the 60's and 50's equip, just hard to find. We own an engineering facility,3
phase power, etc, and have room for display of these large systems.We
have an early 11/20, 11/35, 11/10, 11/34, 11/70parts, 11/03, 11/23, 11/73, 11/83.We will pay for systems, parts and manuals, pay for shipping, etc. |

Collect and use PDP-11, VAX, HP1000 and HP3000 related peripherals (tape,disk, terminals, printers), software, documentation, and ephemera.Especially interested in *any* material relating to the APL programming language: docs, software (especially pre-1980 mainframe or minicomputer APL), or hardware (especially terminals with APL character set). Seeking APLfor VAX/VMS and HP3000 MPE. Also looking for any and all material (again hardware, software, docs, ephemera) relating to the Scientific Data Systems/Xerox Data Systems (SDS/XDS) Sigma and earlier series of computers.

Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA | Special interests: micros from the 70's and early 80's, especially cp/m and S-100 systems, evaluation boards and engineering tools, and systems originating in Canada. | |
| Phil Guerney | Brisbane, AUSTRALIA | I collect
and restore small home computers up to 1985, the smaller the better! I
like to include disk systems and all accessories except printers (but
even those when brand and style match the computer) especially for the
under-powered home machines. Software and hardware that attempted to make
such systems useable in business and scientific applications is especially
fascinating. About 100 systems in the collection so far, which means that
much common stuff is accounted for. But I am particularly after the KIM-1
and the Exidy Sorcerer. If you want your system to go to a good home,
to be restored and kept well for the future, please contact me. |

Personal computers (not IBMs), especially VZ200VZ300 and Apple II.I am interested in Personal Non-IBM computers of all sorts particularly unique or unusual hardware, working or not. Likewise I am after "Pre-personal" computers from before systems where commonly available. CPU trainers that were sold as "Kits" such as the Educ- 8 and the Dream 6800 and the like to show people programming and train on how systems worked and as intro to programming. If you need a good home for any system, let me know and I'll at least be able to store them until a better home is found. Software and especially books and documentation are not essential but certainly desirable. | |
