Thank goodness I found this thread, I was just about to start modelling replacement hinges myself! I have a Japanese IBM PS/55 Type 5545-T06 that I'm currently in the process of repairing for my collection.

Hi all, I'm looking to add an IBM PS/2e 9533 and its matching keyboard to my collection. What I'm willing to pay depends on their condition, if they're missing parts, etc. Feel free to respond here and/or PM me. Here's a photo of them: Cheers!

Hey all, I bought a Japanese Apple II clone recently and am in the process of restoring it. It appears to have a dead power supply, so I've rigged a PC/AT PSU for the time being and sure enough it powers on to the Apple ][ prompt. Everything seemed to be working at first... until I hit "Shift"...

Hi all, I'm looking for a Macintosh SE/30 preferably with a mouse and keyboard and in working order. If it turns on and displays fine but won't boot from the HDD or a floppy then that's fine, I can probably fix it anyway. I'm willing to travel anywhere in the general Sydney area (and maybe...
