I just walked around my basement and counted more than 60 computers. Some are not working. Most are. Most are not vintage. Some of them are. Here's the systems I think most here would say are "vintage":
(I am in the process of cataloging all this and for now this is from memory)
Atari 800 (6502)
Commodore C64 (6510)
Radio Shack Color Computer 2 (6809E)
Apple //e (65C02)
Apple IIc (65C02)
NorthStar Advantage (Z80)
Packard Bell VX88 PC ("8088")
Leading Edge Model D ("8088")
KLH Model 195 ("8088")
Tandy 1400FD (V20)
IBM PS/2 Model 30 (8086)
IBM XT-286 (80286)
MicroLab 80L286
NEC PowerMate 286 (V33?)
IBM PS/2 Model 50Z (80286)
IBM PS/1 2133-G13 (80286)
VIP 80286
Leading Technology PC Partner 386sx-16
AST Premium 386SX/16
Packard Bell Legend 81CD Supreme (486DX2/66)
Gateway 2000 4DX2-66 (486DX2/66)
So, that's about 33 percent of my collection are vintage.
The rest are from Pentium on up to Core 2 Duo.
I inherited most of these as our business upgraded to new machines. Some I got at garage sales, some out of dumpsters, many from the transfer station and a few from people who know I was into computers.
I intend to keep most of these vintage class systems as I curate my own little museum. But many of my Pentium/P-II/P-III/P4 systems will find new homes with retro gamers or other interested parties.
I also have some Cameras, PDA's, Phones, and early Android tablets, printers and copiers. All of these were used in my business.
