Still have some old gear kicking around.
You want vintage? 
We still have an IBM 5110 Model 2, including the large floor standing 8" dual floppy drive, that we keep on display just for fun. Same as the one pictured here http://www.vintage-computer.com/ibm5110.shtml it came with a BASIC interpreter built in and we ran all of our mortgage software off of several 8" floppies. I was hired to migrate from this system to an IBM PC. Used to have the original printer too, in good working order, but it got lost after a couple of moves. That gear was rugged as nails and still works today.
Also have a Sharp MZ-100 portable, but without the power brick http://www.flickr.com/photos/bcostin/110944328/ based on the 8088 cpu. Surprised to see that someone on Ebay is actually asking $300 for one of these.
