Found an old IBM PCjr in the trash today. Its in decent condition, just needs a cleaning. I got a IBM monitor (as well as a AT&T monitor and some apple stuff.) But the main thing was the pcjr. It has a IBM Hardware reference library on a Cartridge. The monitor has a scratch on it but its ok. I dont have a power cord for the pc so im not sure how to power it. I will do some more research.

Main: AMD FX 6300 six core 3.5ghz (OC 4ghz)
16gb DDR3, Nvidia Geforce GT740 4gb Gfx card, running Win7 Ultimate x64
Linux: AMD Athlon 64 4000+, 1.5GB DDR, Nvidia Quadro FX1700 running Debian Jessie 8.4.0

And here as well. I always hope to find vintage computers, turntables, receivers and such, but nada so far...

Well I went a little while ago. Unfortunately there was no Apple //e, only a few busted up apple printers. Also no cords for my PCjr either. I did score a 70's marantz stereo receiver though. I will post a picture of the IBM when I get home.
