Well, well, well, ain't you something Mr. 3rd biggest yard in your county !! I'm so happy for you and proud of you for the hoops you jumped through to land that whale.

:D:D:D:D yes that much of a smile, Mike.

That third picture looks like an adapter of some kind....I know they used to make adapters back in the earlier days of computers because it was too expensive to replace the entire computer or server and it was much cheaper to made a new part fit.

could be Iv never seen any thing like it, even on the collectors sites. there is no number writing or ant thing just 3 cpus stacked on top of each other. I hvent tried very hard to get them apart in case they are very rare.

Olddude, you look a lot like my old man, 61 years young.

Nothin really to add but that, sorry.

Nice natures bounty bottle in the back. :)

Not sure what it is, but if you look at this link you can get an idea of what some vintage stuff can go for.

Definately do some research time on anything funky looking.

In fact, when you have a bit of spare time, go to E-bay and type in vintage IBM, then select completed sales. You would not believe the stuff in there. Those old school clocks that hung on the wall that were made by IBM go for $40 or so.

Punchcards, manuals, you name it.
