I have found a couple of early computers/laptops early to mid 1980's era while sorting our storage room. Is there any market/interest in these? Was thinking museum or collectors. There is a Toshiba 3100 - this did start, a Microbee - this started, but then something went pop and it smoked, Compaq Aero 4/33c - the screen is damaged and I can't remember if I tried to start it, HP 2830A series 110 and a Facit serial printer. I'm fairly sure more will be uncovered. A few of them have all the manuals/instructions with them.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

You might find a collector.
Otherwise, a computer recycler will dismantle them into recycleable components.

The local tips are now recycling computers free of charge - which is where the rest of the bits went. Probably where these will end up.
