VCR here's mostly what I've got left to go through of that type of thing, I've got one more load of misc coming from storage I'll check that also when I get it here.

The computer is a "Zenith Data Systems ZDF-2255-BK", (thought it was a Packard..). I did a google search for: Zenith Data Systems ZDF-2255-BK desktop computer , but didn't get much, likely 386/486, I can open it up if you're interested. Considering it only has RS-232 interface I'd think it's likely to be pre-486.

What I thought was more new PC's turned out to be a set of new rack mount hubs, Cabletron Systems SEHI-34. Honestly I think a person would have to be a sadist to put a hub in service (too many years doing network troubleshooting..)

Hey thanks for the tip, very much appreciated, I'll look into those accounts this morning!

Cool, I'm happy for the interest. I started a new topic on it here:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=25065
I haven't tried to fire it up yet, want to give it a good visual and re-seat everything first.

The second vcr photo is mostly security recorders.
Though not much interest there for me: taking the time to pull the belts carefully is worthwhile. The same belts and bands are used in most pre-88 portable vhs players. And sell for $20+ each.

Those analogue tuners have my interest somewhat .
As does the smart terminal zenith.
