How ever many it takes to show it all off. I would imagine that people will like to look at this stuff, especially with the story of 'RARE FIND' etc.

Good grief. There are a lot of Commodore monitors, COleco Adams, Commodore Pets, Apple II and IIe by the looks of it.

That is a very serious haul of most excellent retro hardware there crusty. You need a better quality camera as I am unable to see any detail when zoomed in. Please please get a good digital camera to take more pics.

This is awesome and a fairly serious story for sure.

There are 46 monitors mostly Commodore but also Tandy,IBM, Atari, Apple and a few oddball ones.

I think the camera is OK, was a fair distance back to get everything in, and the lighting is not the best, I can set up better lighting, and if that does not do the trick I may be able to borrow a better camera. I can also take closer shots as the idea of what is here is shown. closer shots of the various computers etc.

Some oF this stuff needs major cleaning as it was in a barn and not covered and dirt covers most of it, gallons of retrobrite coming up.
