Macintosh 512K factory upgraded to Plus (M0001AP) with keyboard and mouse, ImageWriter II printer, and third-party hard disk drive, 3.5-inch drive, scanner controller and tape drive. The 5.25" drive is my mistake — it is from an Apple II and should not be connected to this set.
An Apple II-"almost-compatible" computer from Multitech (today's Acer)

...Well, sort of....! RCA CDP1861 pixie output connected to a VGA LCD monitor using a "Gonbes XVGA Box" display standard converter marketed mainly for legacy industrial CNC units.
A computer keyboard and a U-matic tape were among several items that burned in this room. This fire was likely the result of arson, unless it happened while the plant was still active. The evidence looks very suspicious though. This keyboard was a rather surreal sight since it's all deformed and melted from the heat.

One of my hobbies is collecting retro-computers, focusing on computers made by Atari. I have currently have eleven different Atari-models, three from Commodore and one other model in my collection.
This is one of my Atari Portfolios, which I acquired in 2010. Well used by it's previous owner, but still works as it should. Have got an parallel-interface, extra memory and some other accessories for it now.
Looks can be deceiving.

Z8-based microcontroller, designed by Steve Ciarcia and first explained in Byte magazine (July 1981).
Yes - this is a PC inside of a VIC-20 case, and yes, the keyboard works too!

Burroughs TD700 Self-Scan early gas plasma display screen, with control unit and keyboard, Design Level 4 c1973.
Yay... we have a cursor (of sorts - with a bit of ghosting on rows 4 & 7)) after 4 days slowly notching up the variac to avoid popping old capacitors.
I had already replaced the power socket, a defective mains fuse holder, and 2 corroded capacitors on cards "A" and "T" in the control unit cage. The faint pixels shown up by the cursor occur in the same positions across the row so I'm hoping this may be a resolvable logic or driver issue in the self-scan control card, rather than a write-off self-scan module.
The identity plate is stamped for 240 volts, but the power supply test points for 5.1v, 12v, -12v, 30v, and -250v were all up to required values on 110 volts AC supply from the variac..!
