In the late 1990s, a lot of older computing equipment showed up at Dayton. Now, you're lucky to see more than 2-3 devices. The TRS-80, this TS1000 and a Zenith Data System laptop, along with a solitary example of an Apple IIe were all I noted.

I have a TS1000, so I didn't need another. I guess the Apple stuff is worth it to the right person.

I'm a retro gaming enthusiast. Not much more use for it beyond that. I'd probably play it once or twice then it would get packed away just like the rest of my "toys."

The 1000 wan't really a games machine, you'd want a Spectrum for that.

I'm finding my older machines are starting to fail because EPROMS are losing their programs and capacitors are drying out. The ones with CRTs are full of unobtainable parts.

Yeah there weren't a ton of games but there are a few decent ones. A spectrum would be cool. I have an unoperational ZX81 floating around somewhere.

The homebrew scene is where it's at with these old machines. I wish my ZX81 ran. There are a ton of homebrew games on itch.io
