I have accumulated a large variety of electronics, computer equipment and sports equipment over the years. I don't have room for it anymore and it has to go. Here's a list of stuff. Please use the contact me and let me know if you're interested in something. I will try to post pictures as time allows, but if you want to see something in particular, just contact me and I will email you an image of whatever you want. If you are in the Tucson/Green Valley/Arivaca, AZ. region you can pick the stuff up, otherwise you'll need to pay for shipping via USPS...I can only ship via USPS because otherwise I have to drive an hour ship from someone in Green Valley. 

Music Equipment

  • Korg X-5 Keyboard with Hard Shell travel case - SOLD for way too cheap!
    Price:  $200 + Shipping
    This is a great old keyboard. It has been in and out of the case for years, so it is not in perfect condition, but it is still in very good condition and all functions work perfectly. Includes AC adapter, keyboard, original manual and hard case.

  • Casio CZ-101 Keyboard with AC adapter and original manual - SOLD to a US pilot in Iraq, because apparently the war is over and our forces now have time to write music on vintage electronic insrtuments.!
    This is a cool old keyboard that makes strange electronic sounds. I inherited this used from my dad. Never really used it much, but did collect quite a bit of dust over the years since I don't have a case for it. Normal cosmetic wear/damage to paint. All functions and keys are working properly. AC adapter and original manual are included.

  • Ultimate Keyboard Stand
    Price $100 (or best offer) + Shipping
    This is a great 2-tiered keyboard stand with some minor cosmetic damage (scratches and dust buildup) but otherwise in perfect shape. It retails for between $150 and $250 depending on where you look. It is designed to hold 2 keyboards and the keyboard arms detach and stow away inside the base. The legs fold up and slide into the base also, so when secured for travel, this takes up only as much space as the triangular center column. Very sturdy, professional quality.

Miscellaneous Electronics

  • Pioneer PL-930 Turntable - SOLD!
    Price: $29 + Shipping
    This this is somewhat of a cosmetic wreck, but still works great. The cartridge still has some life in it...it's old, but barely used.

  • Memorex MP3 CD Player with 45-second anti-skip protection (Model: MPD8505CP) - DONATED!
    Plays regular cds and recordable CDs with MP3 files on them. Includes AC adapter and instruction manual. Pictured headphones not included.

  • Dell Inspiron 7500 Laptop Parts (has dead power supply) - DONATED TO GOODWILL!
    EIther the power supply or the motherboard died on this laptop , so I took it apart, bagged everything and you can buy it all for $100. Includes RAM, ATI Video card, LCD Display (1400x1050) and everything else. The display only had a couple of dead pixels, but the backlight has dimmed noticably. Never had a problem with the hard drive, 512MB of ram or the ATI video card (don't remember which model, but it was the best available at the time).  It also has a sweet DVD/Floppy combo drive, the DVD drive tends to vibrate a bit. The case is in bad shape...cracks in lid and the bottom covers are broken on the video card and memory. Still, I think the parts alone in this thing are worth the $100 asking price. Also includes AC power adapter.

  • Dell Inspiron 7500 Port Replicator with AC adapter  - DONATED TO GOODWILL
    The port replicator for the above computer. Dusty, with minor scratches, but fully functional and solid in every way that matters. Will also include an AC power adapter.

  • Linksys Etherfast 10/100 Auto-Sensing 5-Port Workgroup Hub (Model EFAH05W) -DONATED TO GOODWILL
    It is what it is. In excellent condition. Includes power adapter.

  • Casio PhoneMate Model CP-750 Cordless phone - DONATED TO GOODWILL
    This is a halfway decent 900Mhz cordless phone, but I like my phone better, so I'm getting rid of this one. It's off white, has caller id, and new call indicator, but no voicemail. Also has "modem monitor" feature built in which I think is supposed to keep you from inadvertently picking up the phone when someone is using the modem. Not sure though. Handset needs new battery available from Radio Shack. You can see the black version of this phone here , but mine is white.

  • Ultrak KO6170Q Video Monitor for security system - DONATED TO GOODWILL
    Price: Best offer + shipping
    This is an old B&W security system monitor that has some pretty severe picture burn-in. If you don't mind the burned-in images ghosted over your display, the this should work great for you. Will handle up to 4 cameras with talk-back capabilities.[image of back]

  • GTE 5G82 Caller ID Boxes - DONATED TO GOODWILL
    I have two of these. One is still white, the other has developed a nice lovely cream color due to dust and smoke.

  • D-Link DFE-690TXD Ethernet Cardbus Adapter
    Price: $10 + Shipping
    This is a great little card to add an ethernet port to your Cardbus equipped laptop. 

  • Motorolav60i cellular phone - DONATED TO GOODWILL
    Bottom is slightly dented, and plastic has a few scratches. Will include a leather cover with belt clip, existing battery (may need replacement)


  • Motorola v60i charger dock - DONATED TO GOODWILL
    This charger can charge the v60i phone and a spare battery simultaneously.  Includes DC adapter.

  • Motorola v60i Car Charger - DONATED TO GOODWILL
    Plugs into a cigarette lighter, charges your phone. Has pretty green LED to let you know it's connected properly. Nuff said.


  • Motorola v60i standard AC charger - DONATED TO GOODWILL
    Plugs into the wall, charges your phone. Prongs fold down for storage.


  • Cerwin Vega D-5 Crossovers, midrange and compression drivers (tweeters).
    Price: Best offer + shipping
    Already sold the woofers, but still have these speakers and crossovers. The cabinets were damaged by water, so I put them on the curb.

  • Canon L1 Hi-8 Video Camera and many extras - camera body dead - selling for parts.
    Price: $150 + shipping.
    My dad gave me this amazing camera, unfortunately not before he dropped it and the video output chip was destroyed. Everything looks great through the viewfinder, but there's no way to output video from it. I'm selling this for the best offer to someone who can use the lens (which retails for $109 alone ) or accessories or camera parts. I believe the CCD chip is still intact and just the video output chip is hosed because the picture through the viewfinder is fine. It includes the camera, and amazing 8-120mm lens that came with it, plus an array of filters, an extender CL-2x for the lens (extender which retails for $149 alone and still has the original price tag of $349 on it) , two CA-100 chargers, a big external battery to be worn on the belt with included holster (battery is probably dead by now), remote control and watever other accessories I find lying around in the camera bag. I also have a universal battery charger that came with it and it looks like it is capable of charging a wide variety of batteries, so that's 3 battery chargers in all. I will split the items up if you just want to buy something in particular. I'll sell the CL-2x for a flat $50 + shipping or the lens for a flat $100 + shipping. Not sure about prices for the other stuff.

  • IOMega Zip 250 USB version - [SOLD]
    Price: $10 + shipping.
    This thing has both a USB and some other kind of conector that looks suspiciously lik SCSI. The model number is Z250USBPCM. I also have about 15 Zip disks I can throw in for a small fee.

  • ADS USB Intatnt DVD - DONATED TO GOODWILL
    This was sort of a transitional piece of technology that lets you capture analog video sources through a standard speed USB port by compressing it to MPEG2 format. This is really pushing the limits of the USB1 standard's ability to keep up with the data stream, but it is the only device out there that I know of that will capture video through a USB1 port. Includes all cables and original software disks.

  • APS 80MB SyQuest Drive
    DONATED TO GOODWILL
    Anyone who did anything in the publishing world during the 90's remembers the SyQuest removable SCSI hard drive. Another super-overpriced piece of technology that was eventually replaced by slower, but cheaper zip discs. The APS model was the undisputed best of all the 80MB versions and includes internal active termination. I also have a bunch of 80MB disks which I can throw in for a small fee.
     
  • External 2-Drive UltraWide SCSI hard drive enclosure - DONATED TO GOODWILL
    This enclosure is old, but still seems to work fine. I held two ultrawide SCSI drives before it was retired from service when I switched to Windows from Macintosh. The enclosure alone was about $150 new. 2 different SCSI ID selectors on back. Comes with an active terminator and 2ft cable.

  • Global Village Teleport Platinum Fax/Modem - DONATED TO GOODWILL
    Probably the most overpriced of all classic macintosh hardware was the Global Village Teleport Platinum modem. But now you can get it from me for just $5. How lucky you are! Includes power adapter and built-in modem cable.

  • Processor and parts for a PowerCenter Pro 180 Macintosh clone. -  DONATED TO GOODWILL
    I disassembled the computer, tossed out the case and have bagged all the parts in static-proof bags. I'll sell the bag of stuff for $20.  Also includes the original power supply (PSU).

  • Club Mac External 40X SCSI CD-ROM Drive - DONATED TO GOODWILL
    This is a big honkin beast of a CD-ROM drive. The drive is a Pioneer drive and the case is a ClubMac 50W external SCSI case with External termination. It cost me a small fortune when I bought it, but it can be yours for just $10.

  • Mac IIcx desktop computer
    SOLD, then destroyed by USPS in shipping...thanks USPS for destroying an irreplacable collector's item!
    This was the second color Mac ever made (I think) and it was a fucking gorgeous computer for its time. My dad paid over $7500 for this computer with 8MB of ram, a 40MB hard drive and no modem. This computer will go to any Mac enthusiast who really wants to bring it back to life. Make me an offer - I have a lot of sentimental attachment to this thing, but it would be better off with someone who has the time and interest. I believe it needs a complete OS 6 or OS 7 reinstall, but last time I checked it was still working, even after falling out of the back of my truck during a move and all the parts popping loose from the motherboard. I plugged everything back in and turned it on and it booted right up. They just don't make computers like this anymore. Includes the original manuals and an old (possibly broken) ImageWriter II dot matrix printer if you want it.

  • Optima DisKovery 650CDR external SCSI CDR - DONATED TO GOODWILL
    This thing cost me $1300 around 1995. It's a 2x external SCSI drive. The drive itself barely reads a cd and doesn't seem to want to record on any of my media. The enclosure itself is rock solid though and would make a nice home for any external SCSI device.

    Also, unfortunately I used Optima's prorietary cd burning software to archive some files using a Macintosh extension called CDR-Access or something like that. It wasn't compatible with OS8.6 and I never found an old machine again that I could install the extension on to read my archives. If anyone out there is still running OS 8.0 or even OS 7.6, and would like to volunteer an hour or two of their time, I'd gladly trade the old drive for the service of buring the files onto a regular PC cdr.

  • External SCSI Hard Drive Enclosure - DONATED TO GOODWILL
    An old, but nice external SuperMicro SCSI hard drive enclosure which originally housed a 2GB Quantum hard drive that I used to use with my Macintosh clone. The enclosure is standard scsi with ID selector on back. Comes with SCSI terminator and power cable.

  • Macintosh Powerbook5300cs - SOLD
    Only a true Mac enthusiast would appreciate this laptop. Several years ago (1999) I maxed out the ram and then the display died and I haven't looked at it since. It includes a carrying case, external SCSI cable and power adapter.

  • PowerLogix Powerforce G3-220/110/512 CPU Upgrade for G3 Macintosh Clones - DONATED TO GOODWILL
    This CPU replacement card was used in my old PowerCenter Pro 180 to upgrade it to a 220Mzh G3 CPU. Works great.

  • D-Link DFE-530TX+ Ethernet Adapter
    Price: $5 + shipping.
    This is a pretty widely used 10/100 ethernet adapter that I've successfully used in several computers including one running Yellow Dog Linux on an old mac. Versatile and useful, but I no longer need it.

  • Adaptec AHA 2930B Mac PCI to Fast SCSI host adapter.
    Price: $10 + shipping.
    A standard part for older SCSI based Macs. Includes manual. Email me if you need a photo.

  • Technolab Digicon DC2 - digital convert / copybit remover .
    Price: $15 + shipping. 
    I have 3 of these for sale. You can no longer get these due to a court order forbidding the manufacturer to import them. Takes an analog or digital source and converts it to digital, or use it to remove the copybit from digital recordings.

  • GE Wireless Phone Jack system - DONATED TO GOODWILL
    Simply plug the transmitter into an existing phone line, and an electrical outlet, then plug the 2 receivers in anywhere you want a phone jack. It sends the signals over your home's electrical wires. They work okay with a regular land line, but my electrical system is so noisy that these won't work for my VOIP line. Includes the transmitter and two receivers.

  • Voodoo 2  Graphics Accelerator for Macintosh - Very sadly DONATED TO GOODWILL
    The veritable GameWizard 12MB Voodoo2 was a kick-ass card back in the day. Worked GREAT for playing Descent 2 on my PowercenterPro 180. It includes the cable to attach it to your existing VGA video card. [box photo ]

  • HOSA 20ft MIDI cables  - SOLD
    More stuff I inherited from my dad's studio.


  • Numark DM1001EX DJ Scrath Mixer
    Price: $10 + shipping.
    This would be a pretty nice mixer if it weren't for the crap crossfader which needs replacing. They cost $15 each and you'll need a small stockpile of them if you're tough on crossfaders, otherwise this would make a nice entry level DJ mixer. Has "transform" buttons for you crossfader-impaired DJs who can't do a real transform scratch with your faders.

  • 24-channel patch bays
    Price: $10 each + shipping.
    I have about 4 of these for sale. They are fairly standard items that you would find in a decent recording studio. That's where these came from. First come first serve.

  • Intel VC820 Slot-1 motherboard  DONATED TO GOODWILL.
    I bought this motherboard for a repair job on a P3 Rambus system and never used it. Requires Rambus ram.


  • Roland R-5 Human Rhythm Composer - SOLD!
    Price: $50 or best offer + shipping.
    A classic old drum machine. If you want it, you probably already know why. Includes power adapter and original manual. All buttons still seem to work fine, but it has some cosmetic issues which you can probably see from the picture.


  • Gravis Firebird Joystick - VERY SADLY DONATED TO GOODWILL
    Price: Price: $10 + shiping.
    The best joystick ever made for old macs. I spent many hours using this to destroy my friends at Descent. Awesome joystick. Download drivers here . Here's the promo from Gravis:

  • Gravis Mousestick II Joystick for Macintosh - VERY SADLY DONATED TO GOODWILL
    I am loathe to get rid of this because it's such a solid piece of hardware and I wish I could use it with some PC games. A really good, simple design that works well for arcade style games and simple flight sims. Might make a nice addition to your box of MAME controllers too.

     
  • Realistic Model 32-1200C Stereo mixing console
    Price: $20 + shipping. 
    Inherited from dad.

  • Comstream DR200 Digital Audio Reciever - DONATED TO GOODWILL

Other Items

    Similar to the above item, but smaller and with removable sleeves.

  • Lenox Cheerful Mug ornament - DONATED TO GOODWILL
    I honestly can't imagine why I received this as a gift. It still has the price tag of $34 on it. You can have it for $5.
