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 first learnt to program on one of these, then moved on up to a Commodore plus/4. Ah those were the days.
    If I had the room and the money, I would have a look at buying them to play with.
