I started collecting vintage machines somewhere around 1988. It was just after I married and started settling down. There was no actual beginning to this collection, it basically just evolved, as I already kept the Altair 680b since we built it as a kit. An old friend of mine was making room in his house and said I could take a the machines off his hands. Currently my collection is composed of the following machines below. There are some other stuff that go along with each of the machines that I have boxed up still since the move, such as their books and manuals.  I'm hoping one day to put on exhibit here locally in Pittsburgh at one of the museums.
There are some other items such as cards, floppy drives, cassette recorder, games, and other peripherals,  which I haven't listed here yet. One day I plan to have photos after I unpack everything from the move.
