Here's my collection. It's not so much of an intentional collection effort as it is the result of not being able to throw anything away, and not being able to resist neat-o old stuff I find at garage sales, second hand stores, eBay, government surplus auctions, dumpsters, and so on.

2 Commodore Vic-20
2 Commodore 64
2 Commodore 128

Also, between them, I have 6 1541s (three of which are the same colour as the Vic-20 and are actually labelled 'VIC-1541'), two 1571s, and 1 1581, along with quite a pile of other miscellaneous accessories and disks. Also, a 1702 monitor, and a 1084S monitor, which get pressed into service as displays for many of the other machines.

1 TI 99/4a
1 TI Compact Computer 40
1 Acorn Electron
1 Compaq Portable
1 Amiga 500
1 Sun Sparcstation 1+
1 Sun Sparcstation 2
1 DEC Vaxstation 4000/60
1 HP Envisex (X-terminal)

1 TI Programmable 59 calculator with a PC-100C

This is a funky little programmable calculator which stores programs on a magnetic strip that is about the same size as the magnetic strip on the back of a credit card. The PC-100C is a combination power supply, printer, and locking cradle for the calculator.

1 Lloyd's TV Sports 801

This is one of those video game consoles that came out before cartridges. Has 4 games, selectable with a switch. All four are minor variations on Pong, and are all so poorly implemented as to be unplayable.

1 Colecovision
1 The Animator

This is basically an electronic etch-a-sketch which allows you to draw pictures on an LCD screen, save them to memory, and flip through them in quick succession, creating a crude animation effect.

All machines are in working order, or at least were in working order the last time I powered them, which was quite some time ago for some of them.
 
That's a very nice collection. I'd love to see some pictures of some of those items, like the Animator, for instance.

Here's a scan of the cover of the manual from 'The Animator', which has a nice picture of it.
