The Vintage Office

A place to experience yesteryear’s technology. Located in Nashville, TN USA. I am currently at the beginning of this journey. No location as of yet. It will most likely be a small room starting out.


Note: While the images are of available systems, most are placeholders.

The set up of this is currently on pause but not forgotten. Life tends to get in the way of what we want to do so things have to put it on hold for a little while.......

Starting the groundworks for getting this place started. Possible “get the foot in the door” location will be at The Next Level Games in Goodlettsville, TN in Rivergate. One of the owners has accepted the possibility of displaying some of these machines.

Some computers available for poking around with at the office.

Interesting things that’s happened with the office things.

  • Another adventure with a commercial recording

    Another opportunity to have some of my old tech be used in a commercial in November 2024. It was another fun experience. Created a little program on the PicoMite to have the CRTs show a different color based on what key on a keyboard that was pressed.

  • Some system in a video

    Early in October 2021, I rented out 3 Tandy 1000/SX, an Apple ][c, and an Apple ][ to be used in a music video shoot for the Arlie band.

  • DitherPaint81 was released on cassette

    November 2021 was when I finally got DitherPaint81 for the ZX81/TS1000 posted for sale as cassette media.

  • Commodore VIC-20 in for some TLC

    Picked up a Commodore VIC-20 from Facebook marketplace over the wekend. It needs some work. Had 2 missing keys with broken stems, the case is dirty, and it has garbage on the boot screen which makes me thinks it’s a character ROM issue. All ram tested fine. Oh. The image looks grainy because I took it with a Sony Mavica MVC-FD91.

  • IBM PCjr added to the family

    Picked this up couple weeks ago to add to the collection. All in working order. Just need to get my hands on some proper boot disks.
