An Apple 1 motherboard, a 79-year-old TV and the only surviving processor of the last supercomputer designed by Seymour Cray are being auctioned in New York.
The 1936 Baird television set may not work and delivers a huge electrical charge of 5000 volts.
But it could still fetch between $20,000 (£13,000) and $30,000, according to auctioneer Bonhams.
The Apple 1 has a starting price of $300,000.
Do you have any vintage pieces you'd like to sell in the auction? Are there any items you'd like to add to your collection?

I had a collection of miscellaneous computers from the 80ies and 90ies (no, not simple junk), which I almost all donated to a local computer museum. I'd rather hope this can help teach kids about computing rather than me making a small buck out of them.
The hardware went from an Atari 2600 via Dragon 32 and Atari ST, Commodore Amiga to some Suns, DEC Alpha, SGI, NeXT hardware. I did keep most of the x86 stuff and a Sun Ultra 10.

You have made me think of another recent news item.
The JKL Museum of Telephony [google.com] in Mountain Ranch, California near the town of San Andreas was destroyed on September 10, 2015 by a big-ass wildfire [wikipedia.org] that has been burning since 2015/09/09 and has consumed tens of thousands of acres.
