I added a couple more machines to my collection this past week. I picked up a nice Radio Shack PC2 in great condition along with an 8k RAM module. Been wanting one of these for quite some time. I remember buying a PC1 way back when they first came out in 81 or thereabouts for like $280. My wife pitched a fit so I returned it. What a wimp I was - but ok it was a little spendy for the times, I guess.
Also I picked up a Tandy 1100FD that I instantly fell in love with until I found it has a bad floppy. I'll have to replace the floppy, (quite a job because of the non-standard connectors), but then she'll be standing proud with my other goods. It came with the original manuals too. Contemplating stuffing a hard drive in the thing during the operation also. There's a place and a connector for one, would be nice.
The Tandy came with original documentation too which is always nice
