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 was working (actually I was screwing around) on a battery powered flash for a camera, didn't think something powered by 2 AA batteries could hurt me. I touched the wrong lead and woke up 20 minutes later 6 feet away from where I was.
