Welcome to Boardsort™ - Learn - Sell - Profit -

VCR here's mostly what I've got left to go through of that type of thing, I've got one more load of misc coming from storage I'll check that also when I get it here.


The computer is a "Zenith Data Systems ZDF-2255-BK", (thought it was a Packard..). I did a google search for: Zenith Data Systems ZDF-2255-BK desktop computer , but didn't get much, likely 386/486, I can open it up if you're interested. Considering it only has RS-232 interface I'd think it's likely to be pre-486.


What I thought was more new PC's turned out to be a set of new rack mount hubs, Cabletron Systems SEHI-34. Honestly I think a person would have to be a sadist to put a hub in service (too many years doing network troubleshooting..)

you should setup an amibay and vcfed account and list some of this stuff there. People there will eat this stuff up. also would love to hear more about the ibm server. id definitely be interested in it

Hey thanks for the tip, very much appreciated, I'll look into those accounts this morning!


Cool, I'm happy for the interest. I started a new topic on it here:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=25065
I haven't tried to fire it up yet, want to give it a good visual and re-seat everything first.

The second vcr photo is mostly security recorders.
Though not much interest there for me: taking the time to pull the belts carefully is worthwhile. The same belts and bands are used in most pre-88 portable vhs players. And sell for $20+ each.

Those analogue tuners have my interest somewhat .
As does the smart terminal zenith.

Seriously!? I've just been throwing them in zip lock baggies for years. Maybe show me an example of the belts you're referring too and I'll check my baggies. Stuff like that I'm just happy to throw in with other stuff as long as you can get some use/value out of them. c(_)


Another buddy of mine (retired now) had a repair shop in the area for decades. Seemed like every time I stopped by just to say "Hi" he'd start clearing out his storage room and sneaking stuff into the back of my pickup to make room for his own things... that's where a lot of those types of devices came from. So, they were usually in one of three states: 1) parts machines 2) hadn't gotten to yet or 3) repaired but the customer never showed up or didn't want to pay. I'll try and identify which ones you are thinking of and check them for their condition.
