Yesterday a couple of us from the Commodore Computer Club and Users Group went on a road trip to Kirkland, Washington for a CBM PET and other vintage computer rescue:
The picture above shows what the van looked like after loading it up for the trip back to Vancouver, Washington. The end result of the rescue was the following:
- Commodore PET PCB boards (repair parts)
- MSD Super Disk SD-2 Dual Floppy Disk Drive
- CBM Series 2001 (with original factory box and manuals)
- CBM Model 4016, Model 4032, Model 8032
- CBM 4040 dual disk drive (5.25″)
- Tons of floppy disk and cassette tape software
- Box of IEEE cables
- A bunch of Commodore manuals and books
- Tandy 1000 and classic Apple computer “stuff”
Road trip details: 12+ hour day driving 386 miles round trip in a 9′ Uhaul cargo van, a ton of hard labor loading and unloading. The end result? A couple of tired but happy Commodore geeks.
“Thank you” to Don T. of Kirkland, WA for working out a fair deal on this awesome lot of vintage retro computers. The Commodore Computer Club hopes you enjoy your retirement abroad.
