Alas, I have accepted a job offer that will take my family and me across
the country into a home smaller than one we are currently renting. The
Wife says that the Classic Computer Collection is NOT travelling with us.
To be fair, if it DID move, I would have to store the equipment in a
garage or something equally undesirable.

The following equipment is in need of rescue:

        3 TRS80 Model I CPU's
          two have keypads, one does not
            all are LEVEL II, 16K
          two have R/S lowercase mods, one has a non-R/S lc mod

            2 Expansion Interface's
          both have 32K of RAM
          neither have functioning RS232 boards
          one has a buffered cable and SD controller
          one has non-buffered cable and R/S DD controller
          a single R/S RS232 board with a blown line driver chip might
            still be with us

        4 R/S Shugart or Tandon Diskette Drives
          Two are Drive 0 designates with terminating resistors
          Two are Drive 1,2,3? without terminating resistors

        1 VOXBOX - screws missing but functional at last test

        1 TRS80 Voice Synthesizer - barely functioning at last test

        1 TRS80 Line Printer 7

        Box of Cassette-based tapes

Unfortunately, three TRS80 Model I Monitors got tossed accidentally in a
prior move, so I don't have any of these.

The computers are currently located in central New Jersey. I am hoping
that there is a local collector who would be interested in providing these
guys with a loving home. I am currently located in Baltimore, so I can't
ship them easily. Please reply via EMAIL if you are interested in
retrieving these pieces of computing history.
