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?

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.
