Welcome to a small NZ electronic and chip collectors information website.

Quickly updated recently !

I have been collecting various IC processor and chips for about 20 years now, since I was given a microprocessor evaluation kit in the early 80's. This kit contained some of the past and popular processors of the time. For some unknown reason it followed me around from then on, and on its journey had many more parts added to it over time. When I first set up this website, it was in the hope to be able to find some other nutters out there that do the same, as I was unable to find anyone elses info on the web. Now this hobby has become very popular and there is many collectors on the web worldwide. Unfortunately, I am in NZ, and in NZ we dont have many people and or the vast amount of redundant technology to share these small artefacts with, so I rely on the kind donations of many people who find old junk lying around in garages and cupboards, and have even had some boxes of electronic memorablia sent to me from collector friends in Australia.

If you would like to donate old electronic computers, parts, chips, games, phones, radios, and any odd gadgets you dont want it would be much appreciated.

Contact me by email, syntheticlone(at)yahoo.co.nz (please reformat this email address properly, replacing the (at) with a @ symbol) or phone NZ(021)1183772. If you are a business or enterprise, we can place advertising links back to you, if you like. If you are a collector as well, I am willing to trade or swap stuff of interest.

If you have any photos of interesting electronic widgets, or circuit boards, I will gladly display them here.

I receive a few requests for prices on items on the website, however - nothing is for sale here, over the years I have taken photos of interesting items, and included them here for viewing only. If you have info on anything here, I will gladly share it, as it is what this website is all about.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS:

I am interested in obtaining some circular wafer of chips similar to this:

Thank you for visiting, hope you learn something new.
